Hi Hugh. Yes I am a member and think quite a few monitor this website so fingers crossed.

You are looking for equal compression on each cylinder - Preferably check when the engine is hot with the throttle wide open and all the spark plugs out. If one cylinder is way off,  suspect the head gasket. You can check manifold leaks by squirting some propane gas around the joints whilst she is running and see if the engine behaves differently - do this outside !!
Good luck.
