Hi -
Anyone compression test their engine? Is there a way to get to the driver side cylinders more easily? I have a typical compression checker with a 15" hose, and it difficult to navigate the hose into the driver side cylinders. I am looking at trying to connect two hoses together or even find a solid tube that I can screw down into the cylinder and attach a hose to that (to avoid the natural bend in the hose) to address the difficulty getting a hose in the two cylinders closest to the rear firewall on the driver side.
Anyone else put together any kind of assembly to make this process easier? I just want to test the engine to get a basic idea where it is after 165K miles.
Thanks!
