Subject:How do you check compression?
From:David Kao

I was told by a mechanic that when checking compression for a 4 cylinder
engine I should get 4 strokes, no more than that, and get the reading.
But Bentley Manual says to continue to crank until getting the highest
reading. So how do you folks do it? How many strokes on the average do
you crank to get the highest reading?
