If you have an aircompressor you could try doing a leak down test, i think these are more informative, as it can tell you whereabouts you're losing compression. I think you can make a basic one out on old spark plug and some fittings. The guide was on the net somewhere.
Basically you just pump air into the cylinder whilst the valves are shut, and listen for escaping air, exhaust is exhaust valves, intake is intake valves, oil cap is rings, and water outlet is head gasket. Thats from memory. Someone may want to correct me.
