here has been a recent trend of people outright guessing at answers to others' questions. Many posted questions can be answered with a simple, positively correct answer. If you don't know that answer, just don't post. If you think that you know the answer but you're not sure and nobody else seems to be addressing the issue, then at least post with a caviat, eg "I think that you need x part, but I'm not entirely sure".
Chances are that somebody here really does know the correct answer and will post it given enough time. When you post your potentially incorrect guess and don't label it a guess, you make it harder for the person asking the question to determine what is true and what is false, and also for the next person in line to find the correct answer via the search engine.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Not the same author. I doubt TOF even knows what a "caveat" is.

dont worry about miles, when the compression starts to drop, then you should worry about valve seals, when you suddenly lose alot of compression in one or two cylinders then start worrying about a rebuild.
