Jason,If you do whats called a wet and dry compression test you can tell if its rings/cyl wear or if its up top valve guides.If you do a leakdown test you can tell if a valve is not sealing etc.For the leakdown an air source [compressor]is needed and you must keep the engine from turning on air pressure.If you have a compressor you can buy a leakdown tester in car mags or Jegs catalog for under $100 dollars.The wet and dry comp test is just test compression then squirt motor oil or lube into the cylinder and if compression raises its the rings and cyl walls that are worn.The leakdown testers come with instructions and info about listening to the air leaking from differnt areas.Air out crankcase breather is worn rigs air out exhaust pipe is exhaust valve etc.Must be info on other sites about these tools to test with.Not sure.
