Engine compression test record?

I remember seeing someone's printout of the engine compression test from our recall but was unable to find it via searching.. anyone have an example?

A few questions about the recall- Was the full test required on every recalled vehicle? I'm starting to wonder a bit about the dealership I've been using and I would like to see if they are supposed to have record of the results(and if I can get a printout).

Any info would be appriciated- thanks!

Read the recall document on finishlineperformance.com. If I remember correctly, there was no compression test run as part of the recall. Basically, if you experienced NONE of the symptoms of engine problems, the dealer would "inspect" the catalytic converter, replace a spark plug or two and update the PCM. If you WERE experiencing some of the symptoms--loss of power, low idle--there was a battery of tests called for including a vacuum test. Some dealers may have done compression tests, but it was not required.

EDIT: Here's the link to the recall document:
