Talking Rotary Compression Testers On Ebay...

Well, as the title says, there are rotary compression testers (yes, thats right, more than one) on ebay. There are 10 of them up for auction. A little expensive ($699 each buy it now), but still MUCH cheaper than Ive seen them before (besides the analog ones for the motorcycles). I just thought Id let you all know in case you were looking for one.

What a waste of money? Just get your regular compression tester and take the valve out of the tester where you screw it into the motor.

if yuor compression is bad and ur thinking of buying one then just buy a rebuilt engine with the money instead, then you know you will have good compression.

why spend $600 on a compression tester to find out your compression is bad then have to spent $600 to correct it?

$1,200 would buy a nice engine.

I bought a 13B N/A w/60,000 miles and a broken water seal for $100, an engine gasket set for $115 (atkinsrotary on ebay) and a running TII from a guy who wanted to put a V-8 in his 87 Rex for $150. I still haven't hit $600 bucks, and a boinger gauge from Sears cost $34 and will work for both my Fords and my Rotary.
