Go for the "presto" effect. Sears has them for $30. Buy an Engine Compression Tester. It will have the gauge, a quick release hose, and an adapter. DO NOT try and make your own. Since it seems that you haven't done this before, here are the instructions:
For accuracy, you MUST perform the compression tests with the engine as close to operating temp as possible, and have the throttle blocked open. In short: 1) Warm up the engine 2) Disconnect the coil 3) Block the throttle so that it is wide open 4) Remove all 8 spark plugs 5) Install the tester and crank the engine through 5 revolutions 6) Read and write down the results 7) Repeat steps 5 & 6 for the remaining cylinders Take care, -Chris
