I'm also interested in what it would cost/where to do a compression test. Just wanna see where my motor is at with 114k on the clock. Anyone gotten it done?

Step 1: Go buy a compression tester or rent one from your local auto parts store.
Step 2: Warm up your car to operating temperature then turn it off.
Step 3: Unplug all of the wires that connect to your COP's.
Step 4: Remove 1 spark plug.
Step 5: Plug in the compression tester.
Step 6: Turn the car over for about 10 seconds and then check the reading on your gauge.
Step 7: Repeat for each spark plug and compare numbers.
Step 8: ?????
Step 9: Profit
