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

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

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.

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
