thx for the vids, very informative. How would you rate that compression tool, is it still accurate and how much you pay for it.

[big2000dave]

@eric31291 i believe it to be very accurate. I got it at a NAPA for around 15 bucks.

@big2000dave i thought you said in first vid you got it at harbor frieght. What brand is it though?

[big2000dave]

@eric31291 you are right....that vid was made about 2 years ago...ill have to dig it up in my garage....give me a day or two and ill post another comment here with the brand for ya. btw, most of my tools come from either harbor freight or napa....all great tools.

My 98 accord dx has 200 psi on all cylinders. I could not believe it. Since the engine had ran low on oil like 20K miles ago. She keeps on driving like nothing happen. Although it had some cam bearing damage which I wiped off the bearings it still keeps going strong! All I can say is that honda even as they are built so cheap now are still more reliable then some of the newer built cars of today. But it always helps to be a diy mechanic when things go array with your car. Great video.

my f23 has 250k on it and it has LESS than 20% leakdown on all 4 cylinders and 175-185 psi on ALL 4 cylinders

@BEEPERHAWK These suckers can go 400,000 miles if you treat them right. I'm afraid we purchased this one with baggage. I tried to bring her back, but only got 2 years of good solid miles out of her before the valve issue finally came about.
