Hey,
i was told that i needed to check compression on a pony engine and that it should be around 110-120. However, I have never checked the compressions on anything in my life and i was curious how one would go about it. There must be some kind of gauge and you put it into the sparkplug holes. I get that. What exactly is this gauge called, where so you buy one, and should the motor be hot or cold? Any other tips about this would be most appreciated. Considering that i have made 3 posts in the last 4 hrs., i would say that i am getting my moneys worth out of the BB!!!

You can buy a compression gauge in almost any auto parts store. You just hold it in the spark plug hole while cranking the engine (or have someone else crank it if necessary while you hold the gauge). They are usually about $8 to $10.
