It kinda depends how bad it is. You may not have to do a full rebuild. Maybe just valve seals, or piston rings. But you will probably have to tear into the engine in some way. If it is BAD. And don't be so concerned with if the numbers are low. Some poeple will tell you that you are supposed to be at 220 for each cylinder. You may only be at 160. That is not as important of a problem as if you are 200-200-140-200, for instance. Then you'd have a problemo. You are looking for pretty much even across all 4 cylinders, not for the numbers to be correct. As far as I know, all compression testers read different, so the numbers aren't always as high as you'd expect.
Good Luck.
