Low compression

Hello there! Hope you have had a great summer (if you are in Europe). The car has been gradually drinking more petrol over the months more than 15 litres/100 km (double what it was using originally) so I have only used it a few times for fairly short trips. The power has been excellent but still it's running very rich. Decided to get it tuned again, which after changing the bad injectors and a few other things, was going very well until it suddenly lost compression in 2 & 3 cylinders. 

The job now is to take the cylinder head off and take a look.
Everything in its place

Out with the radiator
SC and inlet manifold removed
Cam cover removed - so far so good!

This will be the first time I've removed a cylinder head since I removed the heads from my Beetle in 76!
