Rover 25 engine

[Richard]

Helped a neighbour swap the engine in his rover car. K-series engine?
The engine he put in was out of a scrap car he bought and had the engine
running before the swap and it was fine.
We started it last night and its only firing on 3 cylinders, checked the
usual and found no.3 cylinder has no compression at all.
We assume its a valve stuck open?
Is there a way to check/cure without taking the head off?

Thanks
Richard
