Because it costs an arm and a leg, and nets 0 gain, unless the engine is already past 450/500HP.

Still trying to find the problem
Cylinder 3 on its way out ... compression should be 150psi max, so it is likely the engine has been rebuilt and head was skimmed without a thicker headgasket. Or the compression tester is off.

Try doing the test again on cylinder 3, if compression goes back to normal after some tries you are likely to have worn / sticking valve. If it does not though, check cylinder 3, piston, bore and head for det damage. These engine usually kill the 3rd cylinder first around ringland.
