BUT I'm wondering if something dramatic could be happening inside with good compression showing, and the last oil analysis showing nothing untoward?

I can tell when the A65 pulling my 7AC is not making full power. Think about the difference in accelleration on a cold day vice on a hot day. You do not have alot of excess horsepower to begin with, so any loss is significant.

The cylinders are usually worn out even before accumulating a thousand hours.
