probably $40 or so at a shop, and $75 at a honda dealer. I would just spend the money on a guage, the price will be the same but you will have a guage for future use for free.

soo go to sears and ask for a _____ gauge? compression check?

you want something that goes more than 220 psi. Just tell them you need a compression tester for your car, they will get you the right one.

Make sure it is one for a Honda. The domestic ones are too short to fit down the sparkplug hole on our motors.

I paid 40. 00 for mine at Kragen and it reads what you need it to also.. it comes with adapter fittings to fit all makes/models one of the best investments..!! Very easy to do and there is a write up on it... here in the FAQ.... make sure you follow it.. cause otheriwse your numbers will be wrong ( mine were low the first time I tried it and it tiurend out I did it when the engine was cold and not at WOT )
