Compression test / Leak down test I tried to do a search and got an error message.
Questions
1. Which is more reliable and easier?
2. With 10.4:1 SCR what should my compression test range be?

After doing "the Google" I am going to do the leakdown test. I found some info and it seems it would be easier than me trying to get a compression test done at home by myself.

yea you can go buy a compression tester at any auto parts store pretty much for under $50 and all you do is screw in the adapter fitting into the whole for the spark plug. then you turn your engine over a couple of times and then you are done
