The leak test is the best and easiest way to find out. Generally a burnt valve will show a compression reading of zero. If it is a valve then it is just starting to burn. It may just be sticking or not have enough lash,etc. If it is getting burned though it'll need to come out and be fixed. Its worth the time to find where the problem is before tearing to much stuff apart.
