Hi,
will there be any sign on the engine when the compression in either 1 cylinder is down?

Thanks

No one has ever written here that they thought one cylinder was low, they checked, and sure enough one was. It is always, they did a compression check and found a low cylinder.

I'd say, in most cars with miles, one cylinder will typically be low. An Injectors gets plugged and one cylinder runs leaner than the others. Run injector cleaner occasionally to prevent this.
