I ended up finding a compression tester in kmart (dont laugh) for $25 - screw in type and all, worked a treat. The figures I got were: 170 125 120 170 160 150 After adding some oil to the cylinders (and copping a face full of oil spray when turning the motor over) I got these figures 165 130 130 180 170 160 So i guess the bottom end mustnt be too bad? It seems a bit suspicious to me that cyls 2 and 3 are so far down, could that indicate the head gasket has blown in between them? ------------------- > or you could try and buy a service pack, for about $100 i got compression > tester, dwell meter, timing light, vacum tester- that was from repco. > brett > > > > > > > >From: "Kristian Walsham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Subject: Re: Compression Testing > >Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2003 08:17:27 +1100 > > > >Bob, > >I know Supercheap have them for about $29 for one that you hold and $40 > >dollars for one that screws into the spark plug hole. > > > >Kris. > >----- Original Message ----- > >From: "Bob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 8:55 PM > >Subject: Compression Testing > > > > > > > Hi All, > > > > > > What should you pay for a compression tester?
