is it just a regular service call or do they need something special for it?

with the 3.1 and 3.4dohc you can do it in 20 mins if you dont do the back plugs. otherwise its a test of how fast you can roll the motor forward and get that thing in there

A shop should only charge you a hour worth of labor at most for a compression test. I say you go and buy a $20-25 compression tester(I saw some for around $20 at Walmart the other day in the automotive section) and then test the engine yourself....you'll save $ and have a new tool to add to your collection(almost any compression tester will come with a set of instructions covering everything, but if you need help, just post here :wink: ).

Lucky people with your cheap compression testers lol...I have to go to Mazda to use their tester for my RX-7 since it uses a special one :? :bash:
