Depends how much further you wanna go with diagnosing the issue yourself and how confident you are doing repairs. The compression test points you down a path not to a definitive answer. You wont be able to do valve work yourself so once you have your info from the compression tests it may be time to take it to a mechanic and say "hey here's the issue, here's what I found". But... little soon to be planning repairs yet. Get the compression numbers, hell the first mechanic could have just been lying to you and nothing is wrong with the engine and it just has a clogged injector lol.
