Can anyone tell me how to get my compression tester working on a rotary?? What do i have to do to the motor and to the tester to get it to test compression on the back rotor and on all 3 faces. Any help on these matters would be helpful

Pull igniter plug.

pull 1 plug from each rotor.

remove the shrader valve from a normal piston compression gauge

watch the pulses while car is cranked. they should all 3 be equal.





this is a ghetto way but is way cheaper then buying a rotary compression gauge.

You unscrew it with a valve stem remover. It is a little tool you can buy at an auto parts store.

unscrew the hose from the bottom of the gauge. There should be a little valve stem looking thing on the bottom of the gauge itself.
