What can cause low compression on one cylinder only?
Most of the times when you have low compression on one cylinder it's an indication that the head gasket is blown. If more than one cylinder has low compression and is hard to start the you most deffinatly have a blown head gasket
Do you need a new engine if there is no compression in one cylinder?
Depends on why there is no compression.

What are signs of broken ring in v8 engine?
Oil burning or loss of compression on any one cylinder. It may also be missing on one cylinder. A compression test will verify this.
Low compression in number one cylinder in a 1.8 dual overhead cam interference engine?
Low compression in one cylinder can mean several things. The valves or piston rings may need to be replaced. There may be a crack on the engine, or the head gasket may have blown. The engine should be diagnosed properly to see what exactly is the cause of the low compression.
How long can you drive with no compression on one cylinder?
Well it mostly depends on the motor but its hard on it no matter what it can cause that piston to seize up and blow the motor
What can cause a compression leak on number one cyl it is blowing the insulation up on the hood when driving?
If you are getting insulation blown upward, you most likely have a 4 cylinder engine which has a loose spark plug in the number one cylinder.
What would the symptoms be for a compressor that has two cylinders and only one is pumping?
How do you fix no compression in one cylinder? Yes, a dead cylinder can be fixed by checking and rectifying any defective component that falls among some of the reasons that result in a dead cylinder; in order to fix a dead cylinder, you will have to diagnose the cylinder by using a compression gauge to test whether there are any cylinders with no compression. Usually, a leaking gasket.

Each cylinder needs fuel, compression and spark. You are missing one of those.
What should you do when a compression test reveals that compression is below average and the reason for a motor not working?
Low compression will not cause an engine to not run. It may not run efficiently but it will run. Low compression on all cylinders is caused by wear, and can only be fixed by overhauling the engine. Low compression on just one cylinder can be a blown head gasket, burnt valve, or a broken ring on that cylinder. I also depends on what you mean by "below average". An engine with lots of miles may very well have a compression reading that is below the factory specifications and not be cause for alarm. It depends on how much below specs that compression is. In any case, the only fix is to open the engine up.
