Appropriate Compression Tester?
Hey, I need to test my front right cylinder for compression.
However, I have no idea which one will fit, and I have no experience on using one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Alex

Re: Appropriate Compression Tester?
Pretty sure you cant get a tester with a 8mm adaptor but a few people have made adaptors up, talk nicely to timon and he might make you one

Re: Appropriate Compression Tester?
I have the Sealey tester. It comes as a kit with 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 14mm adaptors so it'll do any vehicle I'll ever come across. IIRC it was about £30 through an offer in Classic Motorcycle magazine.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Re: Appropriate Compression Tester?
Can I borrow it for a day please? Obviously i'll pay for the postage.
All I need it for is to test 1 Cyl and i'll post it back.
Thanks
