decided to do a compression test before doing a valve adjustment, it's always good to have a baseline

man I was so bummed to find out that my trusty ol' compression gauge was not working, it read 0 for the first 4 cylinders

so rented one from AutoZone for $40 bucks (which they refund you if and when you return the tool) before Pontiac Mike told me to check the Shrader valve on my old hose, and sure as sheet the cheapo tiny valve is bad, so that tells me my gauge may be good after all
