Default Need help for motor problem

A while back, my timing belt on my 91 accord snapped. Changed belt, the motor kinda shakes at idle, but got awesome mileage (320 per tank compare to 270 before). Maybe I bent some valves when the t-belt snapped. Now the car feels like it has no power, even in reverse. I pull the spark plug wires and wasn't getting any spark in cynlinder 1-3. I replaced distrubitor cap, rotor, plug wires, and spark plugs. Now, theres spark in all cylinders. I pulled all the plug wires one at a time, and each time, the motor felt like it was going to die except for cylinder 3, the motor reacted like I never pulled the wire out. When I replaced the spark plug in cylinder 3, there was oil all over the spark plug. Are my rings bad or what could be the problem?

My car does eat like 1 1/2 quart of oil per oil change.

Does your engine run with a ticking noise??? might need to re-adjust your valves and then adjust your timing again.

possibly, you might have bent valves, but your engine would sound pretty bad and you could tell something is wrong

It doesn't tick. Ever since the t-belt change, the motor kinda shakes at idle but is fine once your go or give it some gas.

I did a compression test. Cylinders 1,2,4 all had compression around 170-180, but cylinder 3 only had compression around 120. Now the car would barely start and when it does start, it idles and dies about 15 seconds later. Even if I give it some gas, the motor doesn't even rev up anymore.
