quart cap, definitely not the big ass cap.

Make sure you have the car turn over 7 times. remove all of the spark plugs and do one cylinder at a time withe the throttle full open. Make sure you test on a warm engine as well.

Engine shaking can be related to other things as well. Cylinder misfire and bad engine mounts. It all depends.

Im sure you can buy new rings from autozone or something if you want to do a budget rebuild. Check your cylinder walls for scoring (bad) and if you can still see the cross hatching from the honing and no scoring, you should be good with new rings.

Granted its your bottom end that is causing your low compression. Could be the head causing the problem.
