Another method, which has been tested and shown to determine if
compression is good or not, is to place the truck in question in a body
of water - being sure to submerge as much of it as possible. After
bringing the truck out of the water, remove the spark plugs and crank
the engine over and watch to see if jets of water shoot out the spark
plug holes. Water jets indicate the internals of the engine are working
correctly.
This method yields the best results with a group of people standing
around within soaking range of the jets of water. Its not necessary to
have a prized big block Cuda, parked near by, however it does make the
experience complete.
