That depends on if you have or are willing to buy the tool for the job, you can buy a basic comp tester for say around $30 and up. Then it's a case of reading up on how to do the test right, you should be able to handle this as long as you can remove spark-plugs and wires. A comp test will give you a psi reading for each cyld the number relates to the cond of the motor. A good motor will have a number from say 140-165 psi dry test. A bad motor will have numbers in the 0-90 psi range. Min spec number by the book is 100psi. This is basic info and there is much more to it, best is to do a search on comp testing and read up on it. Dry test no oil, wet test you add a teaspoon of oil to the cyld before you test.

Download a manual from the FAQ/DIY section. And get a Haynes too.

They are working for me.

Oh, and the only thing that will really help is the Fuzzy Dice.

Fuzzy dice are a good mod but if you add Dingle ***** to the fuzzy dice it adds some much more, plus the steering wheel cover man oh man look out.

Thanks, but I think I'll stay with the FD. Even if I'm losing some bottom end without the SW cover and dingle's. LOL
