"...A compression test is needed..."

Agree there! He said he wasn't sure if his compression tester would reach to the bottom of the spark plug well.

"...with a hole that large, he should also be getting a misfire code..."

Something I've been wondering - Is a misfire code triggered only by a break in the ignition path, or are there other things that can sense a misfire that might be caused by a non-ignition problem like a manifold gasket leak, or no compression. I don't know what sensor would detect those kinds of problems if the ignition is still firing correctly. Just been curious about that....
