First off, find a better mechanic! This stuff isnt rocket science, and to a good mechanic they WILL be able to find out what is really going on Oil will raise and not lower compression... I suspect his gauge or method. Keep in mind that with 30lbs on a cyl it will spin past that cylinder really easily when cranking... with all of them low it will noticable crank too easily... you will be able to hear a problem with the way it cranks. Perhaps you have a broken cam or cam gear but this is rare, maybe sticking valves. Get a second opinion before you break into a Virgin German engine that you cant replace parts with equil quality.
