it's an additive that has been attributed to turning a geo into a ferrari... really it's just a chemical additive that cleans junk from combustion chambers, etc. in cold temps, it's gonna be quite thick, so it's gonna have to sit for quite a while to be effective. available at wallyworld and most any auto parts store... not really a reliable repair tool, but perhaps in this case with such low compression, it's worth a try.
my guess is the WVO has gummed up the rings and letting compression blow by. maybe even try a can of diesel purge after the MMO and see if it can clean up anything.
but certainly do check the valve clearances first.
