My point of the above post was that it does not matter about the smoke, etc. If you had 425 psi last year, I would have the compression checked again..... it's not very costly and it will give you a good insight to the health of the engine. Also, as someone else mentioned, pulling the inspection covers are easy an really does not cost you much if anything.

IMO, things don't just fix themselves.... you may be sitting on a time bomb just waiting to explode....BE PROACTIVE!

i agree if you do have a valve problem for example and you suck the valve(breaks off) that valve has no wear to go except right into the top of your piston and slam itslef in there until you shut her down would never be able to in time i have heard this before and its not something you want to hear it sounds like a machine gun
or say your have a problem with the rings and it breaks theres a cylinder wall you have to hone
theres just so many possibilities that can very easily ruin a summer and your wallet in 2 seconds or less

okay so finally decided to call the mechanic, he is coming wensday to check it and fix. The noise got worse but not the smoke and fuel so well see that happens.
