Default Compression test ? double check advice please ?

Hey peeps how you all doing ?

Anyways i want to know whats the best way of doing a compression test on my cossie 4x4 ?

Is it best from the engine cold or engine warm ?

Or does anyone have any tips ?

Im just being on the safe side as got a few running problems and trying to get all the basic stuff out of the way even though compression test isnt 100% a true read out but will give me a good idea !

Kind regards

I'd do it warm,all the plugs out,100% throttle and equal cranks per cylinder.
