[inthedoghouse]

Thank you for all the comments. I also talked to a few experienced mechanics. My plan is to go ahead and fly out to see the car in person and drive it on Friday. I will try to get another reading on cylinder 1 leak down also if possible. My hope is its just carbon, but even if not, then I had planned on a valve job at some point anyway. I really wanted to be able to drive it a year or 2 before dropping the engine.
