Dry compression test:
With the engine warm:
1) Remove all spark plugs.
2) Unplug the coil.
3) Wedge the throttle at WOT, either under the hood or with a brick on the gas pedal.
4) Install the tester into a cylinder.
5) Either with a remote starter switch or with the key, crank the engine over for five (5) revolutions.
6) Read the gauge and write down the reading.
7) Release the pressure from the gauge, and move the tester to the next cylinder.
8) Repeat 5-7 until all cylinders are done.
Also, make sure there is an O-ring on the spark plug hole adapter! You will need a squirting oil can for the wet compression test. Post the results from the dry test, and let me know if you have a squirting oil can.
Take care,
-Chris
