sheerider11 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 You make your own leak down tester for like 20-30 bucks. Get a half decent comp tester. You can bring a spark plug and see which one has the closet length adapter to get the most accuracy out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbowrenchhead Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Sears has a decent compression tester. I've had mine for years and compared to snap on and mac's and its spot on. Go to your local ACE hardware and you can build a leakdown tester. The only thing they won't have is the pressure gauge.
