What usually causes a low compression reading in a motor like this? No idea of miles, but it seems to be stock and well taken care of.

I went and worked on this engine last weekend. But I'll be diagnosing it over the phone. If vinnie can't find damage in the upper valvetrain, I should have him pressurize the cylinder and listen for leaks then?

I've seen the air chuck tool that screws into the cylinder. Where can vinnie get one? There is a local NAPA, Autozone, Advance, and O'Rilies (sp?) local to him.

thanks
