Compression & Leak down tester

sealgaire

Hi,

I'm looking for a Compression & Leak down tester

I've seen plenty of compression testers but is there one that does both?

I've been looking at this:

Is this what I need?

Thats just a leakdown tester.

I've never seen a combined compression/leakdown tester.

A leakdown tester is much more accurate but you will need an air compressor to use one.

The engine needs to be at least able to turn over to use a compression tester. A leakdown tester is better as is measures the engines ability to hold cylinder pressure as opposed to just create it and can be used on an engine that won't turn over or even an engine thats out of a car.

Ok, i see,

Would you recommend I get a leak down tester over a compression tester so?
