Is it worth keeping?

[drrhein]

Ok, I went back and did it over, Got it hot, Had to use gloves to handle the plugs, WOT, put a new O-ring on HF tester, 170, 158, 170, 165 max difference is down to 12. Recheck with oil 196, 190, 198, 192 - I think it's safe to assume valves are ok. TB is probably not slipped but I'm going to change it anyway due to high mileage. Rings are probably the problem. The idle issue is probably the dead IAC. Also found a bad hose between the EGR Modulator and Main EGR valve. Thing was swollen to twice its normal size and not even connected on one end. I'm also guessing all these things taken as a whole equal the poor fuel economy.
Timing belt came in today so when the WP gets here (ordered from Suzuki, just don't trust Chinese parts after my new ball joint on truck lasted less than a year) I'll get it done and let you know how it comes out.

I really appreciate you all helping out.
