No compression in cylinder

[last_rolo]

Long time lurker here,
I need some rather urgent advice.

I have a 4 cylinder B series Honda VTEC engine and I have an issue with one of my cylinders not having any compression.

I am currently in Germany and pretty much all garages are closed until tuesday. I'm here for another three weeks visiting friends so I could do with some advice if possible.

Driving yesterday the engine sounded like it was misfiring so this morning I got a breakdown guy to come and look at it. The spark plug in cylinder 1 looked shot and a compression test on that clinder showed it had no compression accorfing to him.

Any ideas on what this could be down to? He put some kind of sensor with a dial on the top (with the spark plug out) before he told me there was no compression.

ANy advice you can provide would be very much appreciated. I need to get it fixed asap. Some quick googling led me to believe it could be piston rings. The engine previous burnt some oil, a liter every 1000 miles.

Thanks in advance

with this kind of fault should i take it to a honda dealer or will any reasonable garage do ?

obviously i want a decent job done but at the same time I don't want to pay dealer prices if i don't have to

It's a DC2 integra type r. It was using a little oil previously, from what I've been told previously most B series Honda's do
