Roman, that reminds me of my video.

And on compression test
1. Remove all spark plugs
2. Remove air-cleaner
3. Insert a large screwdriver in throttle body to hold throttle plate all the way open
4. Unplug ignition coil
5. Do a compression test on each cylinder try to count the compression strokes on the meter I did 8. You want to try to keep the test the same for all cylinders. Do a wet and dry test. Dry first then wet by adding a small amount of oil to each cylinder (WD-40 will work). If your numbers go up significantly when wet the rings are bad.
6. Post new numbers by doing it this way.
