Compression tester
How the $&@* do you thread a compression tester into a 3.2? I have a pretty standard actron tester. It just flops around and never threads in. Is there a better tool for this?

I shorten the hose, gives more threading control

I went through the same PAIN when doing a leak-down test.
I left the hose piece in the sun to straighten it, as this one had a large curve/bend which made it more difficult. Eventually I was able to do all 6, but was a bit frustrating. Serge |
The snap-on testers have the short section that screws into the spark plug hole. The gauge part has a quick connect that attaches to the short section. The other one piece testers that I've used have been a pain in the butt, comparatively.
