Guys,
One of the guys at work is looking to borrow a compression tester from someone and me being the good samaratan said I would put the call out.
Just a week or so.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Damo

Re: Compression Guage

ZXR750 -> ZX7R. It's an addiction, I tell you.

Re: Compression Guage
They have them at supacheap for either around $25 or $60 or so. the funny thing is they are near identical and the CHEAPER one is the one that is threaded as opposed to push-on-the-rubber-and-hope-it-seals method used by the exxy one. Got one, ended up having to go to rocket industries to get the plug converter that suited (link provided to reduce the arseache for anyone else that buys a car compression tester as it was a bastard for me to find these guys and the bits they sell, for what it's worth the adapter goes from 16 to 12mm)
If it hurts, you aren't doing it right.

Re: Compression Guage
The kit I posted has the right fitting for my ZXR - the really, really small one.
The only issue I had with it was once when the fitting came off the tube and became stuck inside the cylinder head. Panicked and swore for a bit, then had a bright spark and shoved a flat sided file in, unscrewed it out. Now, I've used loctite to seal it on

Re: Compression Guage
I have one for that on mine too, but it's only about 1cm high, i ended up getting one that was about 4-5cm high as it would be a LOT easier to get it out if it spun out of the tester.
