Customer Questions & Answers
Which engines is this compression tester compatible with, and what pressures can it measure up to?
This compression tester is compatible with petrol engines using spark plugs with M10, M12, M14 and M18 threads, covering cars, motorcycles, lawnmowers and vintage engines. It can measure compression pressures in a range of 0 to 21 bar (0–300 psi), which covers most needs for conventional petrol engines.
What are the basic steps for installation and safe use on a cold engine?
The procedure requires removing the spark plugs, connecting the relevant adapter to the cylinder head, fitting the compression tester and cranking the engine several times (without ignition) to record the maximum pressure. It is advisable to carry out the test with the engine cold and with the ignition system disconnected to prevent accidental starting. The gauge has a pressure release valve to make repeated readings easier.
Is there any risk of damage to the engine or the instrument if the indicated pressure range is exceeded?
If it is used on engines with pressures outside the specified range (max. 21 bar), the gauge may be damaged or readings may be inaccurate. On standard petrol engines this risk is low. It is not designed for diesel engines, whose compression range is much higher. It should not be used on hot engines immediately after running, to avoid false results or material deterioration.
What is the fundamental difference compared with digital or diesel-specific compression testers?
This model is analogue and calibrated for petrol engines. Digital models may offer reading memory and greater precision, while diesel-specific testers withstand much higher pressures (generally up to 70 bar) and use different adapters. The main advantage of the analogue model is its simplicity and mechanical robustness, making it suitable for quick diagnostics on most petrol vehicles.
What is a petrol compression tester used for?
It is used to measure compression pressure in the cylinders of petrol engines, helping diagnose engine condition.
Which adapters are included with this compression tester?
It includes adapters for M18 x 1.5, M14 x 1.25, M12 x 1.25 and M10 x 1.0 threads, compatible with cars, motorbikes and lawn mowers.
Is it compatible with motorbikes?
Yes, it includes specific adapters for motorbikes and lawn mowers, such as the M10 x 1.0 and M12 x 1.25 adapters.
What pressure range does the gauge measure?
The gauge measures from 0 to 300 PSI or 0 to 21 bar.
How is the pressure released from the gauge?
It has an integrated valve that allows pressure to be released safely after the measurement.
