The main reason I ask is to figure out if I could use a conventional automotive compression gauge to check cylinder compression. I need to make sure that the cylinder compressions aren't too high on a motor that I am looking at purchasing. Just trying to determine if I'd need an adapter to make an auto compression gauge work on a revmaster engine with Mahle 94mm cylinders installed.
While I'm on the subject. Is there an adapter available that would allow for the use of an aviation compression/leak down test? Bill Zink Columbus, OH Absolutely. That is standard automotive plugs. Who would want aircraft spark plugs anyway? They cost ten or twenty times more, and are very old, inefficient and unreliable technology. The only engine I know VW engine that does that is the Limbach, and that's because it's a certified engine, and the authorities would not give them a certification unless they went that route. Just wondering if the revmaster 2100d uses automotive spark plugs. I spoke with Joe at revmaster and he said that they were 14mm so I am assuming this is an automotive plug since aircraft plugs aren't sized in metrics. Is 14mm a standard size plug?
