Larry,

    You just solidified my deepest fears, heh.  I really don't want to
have to crack the engine but if it needs to be done, well, it needs to
be done then.  As for the throttle opening, didn't know about that so I
guess that makes my reading bogus or is there just something about low
reading requiring that?  I was also told how to do a wet test by adding
a bit of oil to the cylinder.  I have everything I need to do the tests,
I just don't want to start digging into the engine if I don't have to.

Worn rings, worn cylinders, worn/burnt valves and/or seats, bad head gasket,
cracked head, worn cam lobe (VERY WORN!), can cause low cylinder pressure.
