To run a compression test on an internal combustion engine, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and remove all spark plugs. Next, insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole of the cylinder being tested, then crank the engine for a few seconds using the starter motor. Record the maximum pressure reading on the gauge, and repeat this process for each cylinder. Finally, compare the results to the manufacturer's specifications to assess the engine's health.

How can you diagnose poorly seated valves?
Run a compression test. If the valves are properly seating, the compression will be up.

It probably won't start and run and a compression test would show very low, if any compression in all cylinders.
Would a service engine light blink if it needs a valve job?
Possibly, but not likely. Have a compression test run.
How do you tell if its the timing chain on a 2002 Chevy Malibu is the reason the car won't start?
Run a compression test. If compression in all cylinders is low, it's probably the timing chain.
What is the neeed of extensometer?

Run a compression test.
If i found a small puddle of antifreeze on ground now have fouled out plug solution?
You may have a blown head gasket. Have a compression test and cooling system pressure test run.

No, The compression test is done as the starter cranks the engine
