Sealey Compression Testers Guide
Compression testing helps assess cylinder sealing and engine condition by comparing pressure readings between cylinders. This guide groups Sealey compression testers so you can compare petrol, diesel and specialist kits by pressure range and adaptor coverage.
Choosing a compression tester
Use the points below as a practical starting point, then check the individual product page for the full technical information before ordering.
- Choose a tester designed for the engine type and expected compression range.
- Check the supplied adaptors match the spark-plug, glow-plug or injector connection used by the engine.
- Follow the engine manufacturer test procedure so readings are taken under consistent conditions.
- Compare cylinder results together rather than relying on a single pressure figure in isolation.
