Bill, why do you think this is a piston problem ?  Normally, when the 'wet'
reading doesn't increase dramatically, the problem is in the valves (burnt
exhaust valve).

Might be worth a peek under the rocker cover first ... I found a broken
rocker pedestal on mine yesterday.  Didn't do a compression check, but I'll
bet #1 was way down ... it wouldn't even run.
