Default Anyone in NOVA want to help me do a compression test?

I need to do a compression test on my car to help isolate an oil burning problem...97 Prelude. I know it is easy, and I can go out and buy the gauge but I would feel better if someone who knew what they were doing helped me out. There is a beer in it for you.

I believe I have a gauge laying in my garage. You will also need tools to remove the spark plugs, I have one but it could be a different size. I will help if you live close by. Where you at *****?!

I have a compression gauge but I've also never done a test.

If we've got a few people in NoVA who want to do this, we should all meet up at once.

I'll bring at least one 12-pack, lol.

Hey all..I am in Alexandria..where is everyone else. I like the idea of running kind of a clinic where a couple of folks learn how to do this. I only have a small two car garage, but I could use my place in Alexandria.
