" Classic symptoms of too little compression. Could be valve related, but
" only if you're very lucky! First thing to do is a compression check.
" Sounds like it's every cylinder (or most of them) low on compression. At
" least one valve in every one would have to be burnt or stuck to cause
" this. The only other thing I can think of that might cause low
" compression is the timing chain is way off. That's not likely unless the
" chain was changed by said "mechanic" when he was messing with the
" engine. 

could be stuck rings too.
