I would have it done at a dealership because they will have the best / most up to date equipment. Just make sure to tell them you want to wait on it so some dipshit doesnt take it for a joyride.

Do a compression test first. There is a difference between the two tests. If you did a compression test and your results are more than 14 psi difference between cylinders or any of the cylinder are below 130* psi. then do a leak down test to help pinpoint things. These numbers only apply to turbo motors.

See some of us domestic guys do know a thing or two about motors with less than 8 cylinders.

Hope this helps.

I think my brother Mark (marksaccord) showed me your car one time at a event. Is it the sentra with the intercooler mounted on top the motor with a cut out in the hood ?
