New motor

So i recently bought a 1993 talon awd turbo for 400$. Was not running at the time well after a few tests i determined its was the ecu so i replaced and now it runs. i drove it and found it didn't have much power. so i went and checked the compression. they 70-75-75-75 so obviously my compression is low and i checked the timing and all appeared to be on and it dont overheat so i went and put a cap full of oil or two in the spark plug holes and they jumped up about 60+ per cylinder that means its my piston rings? just checking before i replace engine. the car came with a spare engine complete and coil on plugs and a aluminum koyo racing radiator... and a spare awd tranny
