THREADLOCK ADAPTER BEFORE USE
The 14mm fitting screws onto an adapter clockwise, which means it can unscrew in the plug hole. Sweet... I used red threadlocker. Has to be heated to remove, and when I need to replace the schrader valve I'll have to do just that since the valve is in the adapter, not the fitting.
That said, it works better than my OTC 5605 Deluxe. OTC came in at 60psi after 6 cranks on the 4 cylinders I tested before throwing my hands up.
This one came in around 160-170!
I was stoked until the fitting got stuck in the 3rd plug hole.
Don't let yours get stuck. I had to use a 14mm adapter hose from my other kit cuz the innova adapter isn't as beveled...
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
TAPE THE CRIMPED END OF THE HOSE TO THE ADAPTERS!!!
Used it to test the compression on a J series Engine. Upon trying to remove it, the crimped end of the hose was no longer linked to the threaded end. So the hose just kept spinning and spinning and I could not get the entire thing out. After panicking for a while, I just winged it and poured some Loctite down the plug hole and came back 30 minutes later. It was enough to get the hose to unscrew the threaded part.
ALSO the compression tester does not hold the pressure. After cranking and running to the front of the car to check, the compression is slowly dropping... Had to tighten the bottom end of the gauge (check valve, i assume) for it to drop very slowly, enough for me to be able to check what the compression was initially.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Great compression tester
Comes with all the main adapters and works well, the quick connect has a nice snug fit
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Excellent Product
Worked great on my wife's 2006 Jeep Liberty 3.7L. Very good product. Highly recommend.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Fine
Performs fine. Only complaint is the tamper-proof packaging means you have to find some other way to story the gauge and its 2 adapters, only one of which you can screw on and store with the gauge
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
