GZ Nightmare

Hi,

I bought a 2001 GZ250 with about 10,000 miles from a guy for $600, took it home, and changed the oil and replaced the chain, which was kinked. The bike ran pretty good for about 500 miles when one of the exhaust valves broke off, rattled around and embedded itself on the top of the piston. The head was chewed up. Anyway, I found an engine on EBay with 4000 miles fro Pinwall Cycle Parts for $399 plus $187 shipping. I had the shop install it for $350 and then rode it home. The first trip out it started losing power, so we took it back to the shop, and they compression tested it, only 110psi!!!

What do I do now? I hate throwing money at it.
