Back in September I was driving around my car like I normally do a few times a week and all of a sudden it just started running terribly. So I took a compression tester to the cylinders and all are in the 130s except for #8. I can't get over 10 psi out of it.

I have recently moved and my new garage is heated so I can work out there all year around, so I would like to take it apart and see what is wrong. The motor has about 40K on it I believe.

Without tearing it apart, obviously I can't determine what is wrong, but when you get symptoms like this is it re-build time or could something else be wrong that does not require a re-build? I am just hoping for the latter because I can't afford a re-build right now haha.
