Let me pass this by you all-if a "dealer" does the compression test "cold"
is the test valid? Why should I pay for it? Here are the results:
9.2    8.2   9.1
9.0    9.1   8.4
I thought ALL compression tests were done with the engine hot. Should I
demand a retest?

An apex seal could stick when it is cold and free up when the engine gets warm.
Yes I think you should.
