Who's got a thread-in compression tester. I want to check mine to see how the rings did in terms of seating during the break-in of the new motor.

 

Would you like me to ship you mine? Just pay shipping back to me. I can have it out first thing in the morning for you.

tips on a comp test.

engine at operating temp.

count the number of compression strokes on each cylinder, try to get the same number on each cylinder test. This give a better comparison test.

you can also go until the gauge stops climbing, but still do the count

if there's big differences the next step is a leak down to pinpoint the leak location, in-valves, exh-valves or rings.

 

He wasn't asking for a how-to... He was asking if someone had one he could borrow...

I'll just go buy one if nobody close by has one for a quick check - I should have the tool anyway.

 

Harbor Freight had them on sale in this weekend's flyer

 

Going at lunch yo!

I'll delete the post if you guys think no one is going to use the info

 

I got one if you didn't pick one up.
