Compression gauge -- which one?

Post by xHeart »

Is compression gauge a must have tool to help reach 200,000 miles goal on my 2 Volvos?
Fuel, spark, and oil pressure are in my list of things to come.

Amazon sells this one with 140 reviews, pricy https://www.amazon.com/OTC-5605-Deluxe-C ... JMG81KWRBK

Harbor Freight with 36 reviews http://www.harborfreight.com/compressio ... 69885.html

I am open to suggestions for better tool, source, used or new, and better price.

Nope. Keep oil level full and clean, keeping coolant full and clean are.

I bought my snap on compression tool from eBay. Check your local Craigslist and eBay.
