Compression test

[robertc68]

In order to do a compression ,do I need a special adapter for the glow plug threads ? Also I am thinking I can use any diesel compression gauge too correct ?

Thanks,Robert

Yes you will need a special compression tester adapter, I have one by Snap-On.

Be warned. you are going to fight the glow plug harnesses out, so have new ones in hand and ready to go.

You had talked with one of my friends a while back(kdogg85) and he was talking about you put a new motor in or along those lines anyway. I sure hope something hasn't crapped on you.
