I just had $4K worth of trees cut for fear of the same thing happening. I could actually use about 7~8 more cut but the biggest/closest are gone.
Sorry about your troubles...but 'this too shall pass' as they say.

Unfortunately none of those trees were on my property. They had been dead for years and the old lady (90+) wouldn't have them cut down.
Good news,
the bad compression test was the result of a bad compression gauge. When I squirted some oil in one of the cylinders, I couldn't get a repeatable reading. Actually lost another 20 PSI after I shot oil in it. Then I was able the see the gauge drop from 20-40 PSI after turning the starter off. It's hard to see that gauge when your in the car.
Bought a new gauge tonight and had a much better test.
220,205,203,204,203,195,205,203
The 220 was the cylinder I squirted last night.
The 195 goes to 200 with a squirt of oil.
Problem is most likely injectors. I need to get the injectors cleaned and flow tested.
