I considered this glow plug vs. injector removal for my leak down tester
trial.
The HF leak down tester cost less than the injector type adapter. ~$36
vs. ~40 plus shipping!
Still, the injector removal is easier than the glow plug finagle on my

When I got my 300E, the dealer wanted $300-400 to look the car over, and
that wasn't including doing a leak down pressure differential test. I

next guy.
If it takes anyone 3 hours to do a compression test, I probably
