Piston seal

[Mr Classic]

Friends 1.0 Corsa is buggered, misfiring badly on Cyl 2 due to low compression i think. Not worth the time or effort To put new piston rings on so was wondering is Holts Piston Seal is any good for the time being? Or a similar product as can't find Holts stuff anywhere...

Is it definitely rings not cam timing?

What readings did the compression test give?
Did the figure improve with a bit of oil put in the cylinders?
