You need a tester with a long hose extension to get down into the hole.

You had better read up on the process to do this test.I can tell from your post that you have no idea how to do a compression test.

Buy a haynes manual and follow the instructions. You remove all the plugs, unplug the fuel relay, block the throttle open, and turn the engine over. The test needs to be done with the engine up to normal temp, etc, etc, etc.

The $15 dollars for a haynes manual will give you invaluable information, and all the knowledge you need to do a test like this properly.

good luck!
