That would tend to suck the fuel down too. No wonder you were only getting 11MPG and complaining about lack of power. ;)

Maybe you should change your sig here to read 3 banger. 8)

Did you squirt oil into the cylinder and check it again? If it still reads 0, you have a stuck or bad valve. If your reading goes up, your rings are bad.
