Does anyone have a compression testing tool suitable for a vtr? I'm suspecting a bent intake valve and just want to test it :).

In Wilts but happy to pay postage if anyone is willing! :)

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Lovely - thank you!

I hope the valve is bent as that's cheaper to fix than piston rings!! ;)

A M10 bolt, a nut, some repair washers ground down to fit the aperture and a large socket. Oh, and a piece of wood!
This is genius! I have been worrying about putting new bearings in when it comes back from the powdercoaters, this should make it simple and scratch-free! :thumbup:
