Checking compression is, in itself, fairly useless. A leak down test
would be useful, but might also suggest you need a ring job.
Invest in a real shop manual, a high quality torque wrench, new head
gaskets, new valve cover gaskets (which I hope you already have) and
some "anti-freeze". There are also some neat little endoscopic type
tools you can get to look thorugh the plug hole, but you really have
to know what you're doing for them to be useful.

One morning the brake lights are just magically on all by themselves.
What is likely problem ?
None of the following attempts clears up the problem.

there's a small plastic plug on the brake pedal lever that activates the
brake light button. sometimes it cracks and falls out leaving the brake
lights on. look on the carpet and if you find some broken plastic
you've not seen before, that's it. just get a new one, push it in the
hole, and you're set.

What he said.
The part is about $5 at the dealer, and is available nowhere else.

you can also get them at junkyards. i got one there to repair a
friend's civic, and the yard's checkout people just waved me through.
just not worth charging for as far as they were concerned.
