Need to do a compression check on all the cylinders. There is the dry test .Remove all spark plugs.insert compression guage in threaded port of one cylinder.Have an assistant crank engine while observing and recording reading.Repeat in all cylinders. If one or more cylinders is different squirt approx. 10ml of engine oil and repeat test If reading goes up worn piston rings are a probable.
