June 14th, 2009 02:51 PM #2Did you mean CRUVEN? A compression test is easy enough to do and can even be done at home as long as you have the compression gauge and COMPRESSION SPECS for your particular engine. Though quite a few mechanics just compare the relative compression of each cylinder.
I`m saying that most any decent mechanic with a compression gauge can very easily do it. Just make sure your battery is strong when you have the test done and IDEALLY have the FACTORY reccomended COMPRESSION SPECS on hand.
I dont know where to have leakdown testing though as i normally do a primitive leakdown test myself by attaching a homemade fitting where the sparkplug normally goes and connected to an air supply and rotate the engine till both valves close.Last edited by PatT; June 14th, 2009 at 02:56 PM.

Absolute compression is usually less important than relative compression, unless the numbers are incredibly low across the board.

Hybrid is the way to go. So you don't rely heavily on the batteries.
