Most tech's will try a new timing belt (asssuming thta was your original problem) and see if/how the engine runs. If it runs poorly, then further testing to see which cylinder has problems would be the next step.

I can move the valves up and down. Do you think i still could have a bent valves?

I was unable to find a pdf on OTC's site, however I did find a great pdf instruction guide for use with a similar tool sold in the UK. It looks to be a comparable two gauge tool that would be used in the same manner. <a href="http://www.denlorstools.com/shop/images/Dual_Gauge_Cylinder_Leak_Down_Directions.pdf" rel="nofollow">Cylinder Leak Down pdf instructions/directions.</a> The OTC 5609 has instructions included on the inside of the storage case lid.
