bansheefire Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 WHERE DO I TAKE MY BABY FOR A COMPRESSION TEST OR IS THERE A WAY I CAN DO IT MY SELF?? Quote
smkmupbanshee Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 Get a gauge from the local autoparts...Thread it into one cylinder and kick it until the needle stops and there will be your reading... Quote

watkins Posted June 22, 2006 Report Posted June 22, 2006 Your compression is going to vary based on elevation and if you have a milled head or not. What elevation are you at? Quote
400rednEX Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 turn off the gas and hold the throttle wide open too. Quote
dajogejr Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 Buy a better quality gauge, too...if possible. El Cheapo gagues can really be way, way off..... Quote
MILO Posted June 26, 2006 Report Posted June 26, 2006 it would be a good idea to turn off the key or kill switch also so shee doesn't take off on you :baseball_w00t: search the 'product reviews' for compression testers, i had a thread there with a lot of good responses. Quote
