TESTED PRODUCT TEST

THE VERDICT

Have you lost your mind, Midge? I’m not a mechanic. What do

I want one of those for? Well, I’m glad you asked, because this

could be one of the best scores you ever lay out.

You see, diagnosing the bad stuff on your own car is one

thing, but having one of these handy is even better to help

stop you buying a lemon in the ﬁrst place.

The fact is that plenty of the best bargain performance

models out there can suffer from compression problems

(Mazda RX-8s, Corsa VXRs and many, many others are known

for this). And when you factor in the full engine build needed

to ﬁx ’em, they’re obviously not going to be quite as cheap as

they may appear. Using one of these could easily save you

both signiﬁcant heartache, and a

big ﬁnancial kick in the plums.

I mean, you do an HPI check

when you buy a car, right? You

go around and kick the tyres, and

you take off the oil cap to see if

it’s full of mayonnaise. An extra 20

minutes or so for a compression

test isn’t hardship if it could save

you a few grand. After all, if your

seller has nothing to hide, they’re

not going to mind are they?

Chances are, if you’re looking

for a budget bargain, you’re not going to shell out the 100-

300 quid for an independent vehicle check either, and

compression is often the ﬁrst thing on their test list. For less

than 20 quid, it’s almost silly not to have one.

THE PRODUCT

Compression testing isn’t half as complicated or scary as many pros would have you

believe. Basically, it involves pulling out the fuel pump fuse, removing the spark plugs,

connecting the tester in the spark plug holes, cranking over the engine and checking that

all the cylinders (or rotor chambers) have equal pressure (about a 10-percent variance

between them is usually acceptable). It can only be done with a specialist gauge like

this and will explain away symptoms like a loss of power, a rough idle or excessive blue

exhaust smoke, all in a matter of minutes. Most crucially, doing the job before having to

open up the engine. What you’re checking for here is leaky valves, timing belts/cams that

aren’t opening the valves as they should, blown head gaskets and worn piston rings.

This comprehensive little kit from Silverline is perfect for doing all of the above,

but without breaking the bank. It’s pretty simple, sure. But it’s a universally trusted

conﬁguration and the same method any garage will be happy to charge you a fair few

quid for. This one is surprisingly decent quality too, with tough rubber hoses, proper brass

ends and a gauge that will read up to 300psi (most healthy cars will run at between 125-

175psi). In fact, I don’t see any reason why this couldn’t be used time and time again – the

lifetime guarantee says it all there.

What’s great is that you also get a load of long-reach ﬁttings and adaptors you don’t

tend to get with other basic testing kits and very often you’ll need ‘em. So the short of it

is that it offers exceptional value for everything you’ll need.

If you have a diesel car you won’t be able to use this particular kit (because oil burners

run with much higher compression). But don’t worry, Silverline have a dedicated, well-

priced set for those, too.

Speciality car tools come in all shapes and sizes. They’re not the universal gear

that we all own, like socket sets or a hammer drills. What we mean here is the inﬁnite

number of random bits and pieces out there designed to do a single specialist job.

Bearing pullers, timing setting kits, hydraulic presses, seal drivers... these are the

sort of items either reserved for professionals, or you only buy when things go tits up.

If you’re a tad hands-on with your cars, chances are you’ll have loads of these knocking

around. It’s likely you used them once for that tricky job, and now they’re languishing

somewhere at the bottom of your tool box.

So why would you need another specialist tool? Well, a pro style-compression

tester isn’t about ﬁxing a problem as such, it’s more about ﬁnding (or avoiding) a bigger

problem. It’s also about revealing the condition of your engine internals and it could save

you a bag load of cash along the way.
