Yep, you do it your way and I'll do it mine. Meanwhile I'll try to save this guys motor for him while you tell him to just ignore it. Who's really helping?
My bet is you will wind up wasting his money.

What are you going to tell him if he spends the $$$ for a compression gauge and and finds has low readings? Spend more $$$$ for a rebuild on a 30-35 year old engine?

Or what if he pulls the plugs and now, since the engine appears to be running much better, the coloring is closer to correct and consistent, side/side? Apparently he fixed something when he put the new gas line on because the engine is running better. If it turns out this be the case, then it's time to ignore his former issue.

That is what I said, not what you said I said.
