That wouldnt tell him anything, other than that cylinder is just running.
If its not running, you can usually tell because of the vibration.

I just bought a compression tester from Harbor Freight - $10
Works great

95k miles and 140-145psi across the board. I am really happy about this.

Auto zone lets you borrow a compression tester, just have to give them $30 deposit which you get back when you return it.
