Default Compression test

Just want to get some clarification on this. I'm going to check out an engine I might buy off of a HT member and I want to perform a compression test. I just searched and got these instructions: http://www.c-speedracing.com/h...t.php

Can everyone verify that this is the correct method, because I do not want to mess anything up considering it isn't my engine. Also, I'm just going to go to autozone to get a compression tester, anything I should know? (different kinds of testers, etc.)
Thanks in advance.

Not completely necessary but a good precaution
