Hi Terry,
You should use a compression tester made for aircraft engines. It has a
calibrated orifice and measures the leakage through the valves and by the
rings. Your I/A should have one.

I have one you can borrow if you want to pay shipping.

Dear All,
I am in the throws of setting up for my annual inspection. I am going to do
it a little early to avoid having to work in an unheated hangar in Nov.
I got a question. For checking cylinder compress, can I just use a regular
auto compression checker tool? I see where it says to do this with a warm
engine. I have a few A&P school text books I hope to dig out and review
before I begin this too. Also I have hooked up w/ a local IA to review my
work once finished, and, Ronnie, I have your checklist. Thanks for putting
that out.
Any other good sources/suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Terry
