Cyl. # 1 is the one that blew  on me coming out of Albuquerque on
I-40going east to OKC. Burned a hole right through the top of the piston
at the edge of the circle.

If compression is down, it might just be worth it to just deal with it
pronto. Don't want to spend a week on the side of the road, like I did,
in a place like Clinton OK, trying to work it all out. I had symptoms,
but failed to pay attention and ignored them. It caught up with me.
