I'm going to go buy a gauge to do the compression check. I just have to take out a spark plug and screw the gauge into the plug hole and then crank over the engine with the battery disconnected to get a reading right?

umm, I don't know how you would crank over the engine fast enough without the battery connected. All the power to you but your wretchet arm better be real quick, maybe you have experince in this department..

Ohhh, sorry, you meant the battery disconnected to the ignition!! Originally Posted by richmondb
