thanks for your quick reply, BigT

now the interesting part.

I removed the oil cap and put a piece of paper on top of the opening. it was simply blown away from the compressed air from inside the engine.

the car was fully warmed before I performed my "test".

suppose I have to "argue" again with the managers in Honda dealerships.
should I asked them only for compression test or for leak down test as well ?

any other options ?
