do the compression test your self. Its easy. the tool cost 50 bucks. my S ran 240 PSI all across. when you do the test make sure someone is holding the meter stright up to get accurate reading.

LOL


As per compression results, people often make 2 mistakes while doing this

1) car has to be hot and warmed up for proper readings and

2)Gas pedal has to be put to the floor for accurate results while actually performing test.

thanks

U should be able to do the compression test for free (autozone will lend you the tools).

From what I understand about compression tests, its only important that all the cylinders match up. Higher readings can be due to how the tests were run (apparatus straight, foot on pedal, number of cranks, etc...

I guess ur also betting that the probability of messing up all 4 cylinders is quite low.


I spent weeks looking for the secret compartment...cause i found it on the 1st day and thought there was some magical shit that i have seen yet =(.
