Description

The complete kit comes with adapters for most applications. Check the condition of your piston ring & valve seats. If the compression is low, put a small amount of oil in the cylinder and see if compression changes.

If no change then the issue could be the valve seats or valve system operation like a worn camshaft lobe. If the compression changes then the rings are suspect as to the problem. The tool helps detect the problem cylinder.
