Compression Test?

It's just a pressure gauge with an adapter that has threads to go in the spark plug hole.  It's generally a good idea to disable your fuel too, that way the car doesn't fire up and run on 3 cylinders.  :)

The better testers will have a second needle in the gauge that'll stay at the high point, they're nice since you can easily do the test with one person.

What he said. It may take a couple of turns to get the compression high enough. Mine is long ebough that I can put the guauge on my windshleid to watch it as I turn over the engine. i use the wipers to hold it in place.

Did you talk to Kirk lately, last I heard is that he wasn't going through with it anymore??? :huh:
