Re: "Compression check" by Pulling Spark Plug Wires?

I have to second the motion from 65comet. I'd do a real compression test and get real numbers. that's the only way to be absolutely certain that you have a healthy engine.

Also... forgive me for going off topic, but I noticed that you're from Bayside, New York. I lived there on Bell Blvd for 5 years when I was a kid. Went to school at PS 169, which was basically down the Street and around the corner, then for middle school I went to IS25 on Francis Lewis Blvd. They didn't use yellow school buses so we all were issued special metro cards and rode the Q28 to school.
I miss that city, the last time I was there they had just started building what is now the freedom tower. Nice looking building, but I still miss the twins.
