How can i check compression without many tools?

All my four cylinder downpipes are at different temperatures after a while and the power I had is not there.

You need a compression gauge and enough tools to get to the plugs and get them out...

Or get the plugs out and try and hold your thumb over the hole whilst turning it over. If you can keep it sealed, the compression is too low Smile
