If it's getting worse then it's likely on the way out. Chances are this motor was already on the way out anyway and boosting it just gave it the final kick.

My thinking.
Just began trying to do the leak down test yesterday & my 12 year old compressor died.
With the SC I have more than enough power, I just want a reliable "economical" easy solution, the first choice is simple head work, second bottom end rebuild & valve stem seals/head refresh & finally a good other M52.
I hope to have it out tomorrow, busy yesterday & today.
I have been offered a good iron M52, mine is 60lbs lighter aluminum.
At least you know the problem is with valve seats! Might be easier to fix this and get the heads surfaced than a new motor?
Next step is taking the head & block to a machine shop to verify they are ok & have them made ready for assembly/get a valve job. (assuming no cracks/warpage)
Non car related but do you know if this weather station reports to the national databases or is it just a local to the screen? I am curious because I have been considering getting one for a while now for my smart sprinkler controller to reference as we end up with a weird microclimate living near the bottom of a lake when it comes to rain and thus my sprinkler system doesn't run a lot cause it thinks we are getting rain and we are not actually. I didn't see anything in a quick skim of the link you posted but I definitely could have missed it.

I don't think it does any interaction nor am I aware of getting data externally. They have other units that do but I have not looked into them.
