a friend of mine built the motor

That might be the problem. Were the rings gapped and installed correctly? What valve springs are on the heads? A loss of compression over time might mean the rings did not seat right.

Well they either seat or not. I'd be more concerned to wheather the gap is right and that he off set the gaps correctly.
