When you get the rubber compliance fittings off (that bolt to the heads) you'll likely find loose clamps, cracked rubber or loose bolts... or some combination of that. The original rubber fittings didn't last long generally, but replacements always seemed to hold up well.....

pull the plug and see if it's saturated in oil.oil may be fouling it.

if it is then ya do a compression test and leak down test.
