Compression Test?

It's just a pressure gauge with an adapter that has threads to go in the spark plug hole.  It's generally a good idea to disable your fuel too, that way the car doesn't fire up and run on 3 cylinders.  :)

The better testers will have a second needle in the gauge that'll stay at the high point, they're nice since you can easily do the test with one person.

Partsource has a tool lending program - perhaps a compression tester is something you could borrow from them.
