CIS engine compression test rant
Just a need to blow off steam, here - I find it damned near impossible to do a compression test on the 4/5/6 bank on a CIS engine. Especially with an AC compressor! I'm sitting here with forearms scratched all to hell and gone from twisting and squirming all around the CIS plumbing all evening. It is really hard for me to thread the tester into the spark plug holes on the right bank, especially with the ancillaries in the way.
The left bank took me all of 10 minutes. Zooooom.
OK, rant over. I'm off to find a tasty beverage...
