I've tested the front three cylinders on my S1 L67, and they all tested within ten psi (+/-) of 165. The one rear the I actually got hooked up to the compression tester tested 70 the first time, obviously not hooked up properly. Tried it again, and after another ten minutes, got a reading of 160. How the heck am I going to do the two left rear cylinders? The long rubber hose on the compression tester is really messing with me getting the compression tester properly fitted. Or is the compression tester I rented from Autozone just junk and hard to use? I even took off my strut reinforcement bar.

Its just the same as changing a spark plug... you'll get it.
