I recently purchased a leakdown tester from amazon, expecting a basic tool with basic results. I received something that would not properly thread into my spark plug hole.... I’ve always had trouble with the spark plug holes regardless. Walls so tight.

anyways, does anyone know of a decent quality leak down tester that provides consistent results that works properly with our 1.6L motors?

thank you!

I have the OTC 5606 compression tester with all proper adapters to do our cars and many others also. I have owned a lot of OTC stuff and its usually pretty good product. There is also a deluxe kit for $80 OTC-5605.

Then there is Lisle P#20250.. This is another specialty tooL company that makes good stuff also!

Thanks mate 🙏 I’ll just apply that brand to the leakdown tester search. I have a compression tester and am satisfied with its results... but have had horrible luck with the leakdown tester so far. The one I have is garbage.
