cackshifter Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I was just wondering if anyone had recommendations or bad experiences of compression testers. I thought I should get one and use it but don't want to part with a kidney for a Sykes one ideally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallfry Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I find my thumb works a treat ! I bought one on the auction site. Tester that is, not thumb, only cheap but works a treat. I do not know how accurate the gauge actually is, as I have not tested it, but you are looking at cylinder balance mainly. Only thing is, I find with these things that although they look comprehensive, they come with every injector fitting except the one you need ! Mine has glowplug adaptors. If you only need it for once in a while use, you are welcome to borrow mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 @smallfry Thanks for the kind offer - but I was planning to use it as a bit of a routine healthcheck, so really should buy one. The heaviest use is towing a horsebox, and I am trying to reduce the chance of unexpected failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
