This tester is designed for petrol engines, including those in cars and motorcycles, and is compatible with M10, M12, M14, and M18 spark plug threads.
The correct adapter is determined by the size of your engine's spark plug threads. Consult your engine's manual to determine the correct size, then select the corresponding adapter from the set.
No, this compression tester is specifically designed for petrol engines and will not work on diesel engines.
Compression readings vary depending on the engine. Consult your engine's service manual for the specified compression values. Significant deviations from these values indicate a potential engine problem.
Low compression readings can indicate several issues, such as worn piston rings, faulty valves, or a blown head gasket. Further diagnosis, possibly including a leak-down test, will be needed to pinpoint the exact cause.
Wipe the compression tester with a clean, dry cloth after each use. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Please refer to the product packaging or your point of purchase for warranty information.
Ensure the adapter is properly seated in the spark plug hole and that the tester is securely connected. Check for leaks around the adapter and tester connections.
Make sure the engine is warmed up before testing and that you are cranking the engine for the same amount of time for each cylinder. Also, check for any leaks in the system.
Verify the ignition is disabled to prevent engine start during testing. Check for blockages in the tester.
