 i would say gummed up rings also. usually when i get a motor thats been sitting i shoot wd40 down the plug hole and let it sit for a while....could also be a broken ridge and ring as the ea71 are notorious for that. my 78 had a broken piston ridge and ring and was runnin that way for who knows how long until i tore the engine down and noticed,
