    Compression tester help

    Hi everyone, I just got my tools to my garage after 7 years of being without most of them. I just can't remember if there is a special procedure with a compression tester with regard to the piston position and the 350X. Any help would be appreciated.

    It also helps to hold the throttle open fully to allow the gauge to go up faster.

    You will get a better reading if the engine is warm. As the above post states the throttle MUST be held wide open.
