smkmupbanshee Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watkins Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400rednEX Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 turn off the gas and hold the throttle wide open too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Buy a better quality gauge, too...if possible. El Cheapo gagues can really be way, way off..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILO Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share 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.
