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 β€˜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.
