Diesel Engine Compression Tester: Measure Engine Health

A diesel engine compression tester is a tool used to measure the compression pressure in diesel engines. Compression pressure is a key indicator of an engine’s health and performance, as it evaluates the sealing ability of pistons, piston rings, valves, and other components. It consists of a pressure gauge, hose, adapter, and glow plug remover, each playing a vital role in testing the engine’s compression ratio and identifying potential issues such as valve seal or cylinder head gasket problems.
