[s-cars] compression data

[Joshua Van Tol]

A leakdown test would help of course, but I'd be looking for an exhaust leak
if you've got a pop on decel.
Those low readings on 3 and 5 are a bit worrying, but I wouldn't rebuild
just yet. Look for exhaust leaks, and try a leakdown test. It could be that
you've got a few valves not seating well.
