is there a specific way to test compression...i was a auto mechanic for a long while, but we removed all plugs and did them one by one...should i leave a plug in and do it? thanks again

The Technician's repair and service manual (see sticky threads) will tell you the proper way to do a compression test and how to interpret the results.
