Compression tester

At next oil change at 45K I going to check compression.
For this work I bought cylinder pressure meter at L.K. Ltd. for 150 NIS.



Compression universal check flow (important ones marked red):
1 - Engine warmed up to working temp, all thermal gaps are optimal
2 - Pull out all spark plugs
3 - Clean air filter and pull down gas pedal (for steel cable throtles)
4 - Disable fuel pump
5 - Disable ignition system
6 - Battery should be fully operationional and fully charged
7 - Starter should be fully functional
8 - Add charger to the battery
9 - Before shutting down engine for tests, press gas pedal few times to clean cylinders and valves
10 - Compression check occurs until there is no increase on tester
