Message	After doing a compression test today here is what I got. Its scary. Cylinder 1 - 130 Cylinder 2 - 130 Cylinder 3 - 135 Cylinder 4 - 95 Cylinder 5 - 80 Cylinder 6 - 130 Now, cylinder 5 would explain my weird exhaust leak sound. I added oil to cylinder 4 and 5 and tested again. Cylinder 4 - 150 Cylinder 5 - 130 Looks like worn rings. Definitely seems like it's time for a rebuild. I will definitely test again either tomorrow or soon after. I don't know if I had the engine warm enough, I just took a short drive (about 2 miles) until the water temp was 180. I had the throttle wide open and fuel pump relay pulled, batter is also fully charged. I will post again after the second run.
