Is my 2.5 shot?

My owb went bad today, and to verify it, I pulled the engine outta my Maxx. I could spin it pretty easily by the flywheel. The glow plug was in and tight. I could feel a pinch, I held it where it made its compression, and could not notice any blow by. This motor is on it's 2nd gallon of fuel, as far as I know. It ran well before, but now I get the feeling I'm missing some power. Am I overreacting? I have nothing to compare it to, and if this one is just getting broke in, I don't want to replace it yet.

Replace the OWB (Or clean it) and try it out.

Yeah, might as well. It ran pretty good, though I was hoping it would be a little punchier with the resonator and foc. It's like I told another fellow on here, "It won't fool ya!". If one of the needles from the bearing got into the engine, would I be able to notice it straight away? The motor spins as smooth as glass.
