During annual of my PA32-300 (550 SMOH) the #6 cylinder tested 69/80 compression. The rest were mid 70s. We could hear the air coming out of the exhaust. Looking with the borescope, to me it looks like the exhaust valve in the #6 cylinder has some signs of uneven burn. I'm attaching pics of all the exhaust valves- if you look closely each one is labeled with cylinder number. Curious as to any thoughts in general but also specifically about #6. I'm not super concerned about the compression number on its own but looking at the valve I'm wondering if we need to take some action? Thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts!
