Review on Compression Pressure Cummins NAVISTAR Detroit by Matthew Bahri

I am currently working on a 1983 Chevy K20 with a 6.2 liter diesel. After replacing the injection pump I only had starting problems. It would have started but flipped after a while. And yes, I bled the fuel lines. I've narrowed the problem down to either compression or the glow plugs aren't heating up properly. Since I had the intake off as well as the injectors and glow plugs, I decided to check the compression first. I looked around and found this test set at a great price. It arrived on time and has some test adapters for a range of vehicles. All adapters are steel, the gauge is oil filled and rated for pressures up to 1000psi. It worked fine for my application and told me the compression was within acceptable range. I later found out that the problems I was having were related to the glow plugs. However, without this kit, this little nagging question of what compression is would drive me nuts.
