Compression Test

[flashlight]

Approximately how long does it take for one to do a compression test? And how hard is it?

Performing a compression test isn't terribly hard, I'd estimate you could do one in an hour once you've gathered all the supplies.

Here's a couple of links detailing how to to check engine compression.
