My Jeep has no compression on #8 cylinder. It runs very well until 65mph and then it struggles, but still manages to recover, except for steep hills when it chugs. Mechanic said he put a camera into cylinder and detected traces of metal shavings and told me to replace the engine. That was a year ago and I’m still driving short distances and cannot afford an engine as I am on SS and age 80. Do I have anything to worry about. Engine is clean as can be.
