Ok I did a comp. check but it was my first time doing one on a rotary. The gauge has a valve so when it reads pressure it stays at the highest pressure read.

I had to hold the gauge in place becaus it doesn't skrew in it has a rubber fitting



I am thinking I should go to Napa and get the one there.



Any suggestions?

take the schrader valve out of the compression tester and watch for 3 even bounces.

How do you test the compression? do you have someone turn the key while the open relay ciruit is out? And what compression testers should be used?
