Robert,
Will do the compression test this weekend if possible.
Have an excellent screw in compression tester, but # 5 is fairly
difficult to get to due to the steering column in the way. The
other plugs are no sweat for access.
Looks like oil on #4 plug and plugs are too cold for in town driving.
See my longer general message for details.
