Compression Test Question
Please confirm I am doing the compression test right....
1. Run engine until warm.
2. Remove all spark plugs.
3. Put the gauge in a cylinder
4. Press accelerator to the floor and try starting 5 times.
5. Write down reading.
6. Repeat in all cylinders.

Yep. This is the "Dry" test. You can repeat this test "Wet" with a shot of oil in the cylinder.
