This video shows step by step instructions and results on how to check engine cylinder compression test on a Toyota Land Cruiser or Lexus LX450. This process is very similar on just about any engine. This video is in preparation for the listing of my 1997 LX450 on BringATrailer.com. This walks through checking the engine cylinder compression on all 6 cylinders.

Here is the compression tester kit that I use. Very useful to have in the toolbox. https://amzn.to/3H6KhZl

I highly recommend you get set of 3/8" wobble extensions. They make this and many other tasks where a socket is required in a tight spot much easier. I got mine here: https://amzn.to/33OavBm

Also, pick up a set of magnetic spark plug sockets. You will thank me. With engines like this the typical spark plug socket with a rubber boot will not work and get stuck in the valley. Here is the set that I use: https://amzn.to/3gdTQKp

And if you really want to be professional about it, get a spark plug boot removal tool to make popping each one off a breeze: https://amzn.to/3IFeM9k

EDIT: Some folks mentioned to run another test per the FSM procedure with engine at operating temp. On a factory "street" engine I always run compression tests cold so that the piston rings are not expanded. It gives me the best reading of what the compression is at worst case scenario. When the engine is warmed up the pistons/rings expand and you have better seal and better compression. For a commercial engine or race engine, always have to run the test warm since they are built "loose" by design. BUT, I am not very curious to see the difference. So I'll be doing a follow-up test and video with engine at operating temp and throttle at WOT. I'll post that once I get it done this week.
