Default rebuild! HELP

Just did a compression test on cylinder one after a engine light went on (p0301). Thought it was the spark plug or coil pack, but it wasn't. We tested and it was at 90, then it went down. The other 3 are fine, but the first one (cylinder 1) sucked like shit.

Brother is doing a cylinder leak test to see what the real problem is: the gasket, valves, or pistion. Hopefully just gasket or valves. This will be tomorrow.

I probably need to rebuild my top block motor, any recommendations on where in Sac to go for a good competitive price? Give me full cost of rebuild and labor, or just the rebuild.
