Default Overheated engine , possible loss of piston ring tension ?

I overheated my 1970 318 and think I may have a few cylinders that dont have compression due to loss of ring tension. What are all of the tests I could do to determine this or what other problem I may have.
I was told there is a possibility if it is a ring tension problem there may be a way to cheat-fix it...running it on transmission or other type of oils to free up the rings? :?: :?
All help greatly appreciated...Thanks Tommy
