Aluminum Flywheel and Compression Test.

Does a light Flywheel effect doing a Compression Test correctly?

i wouldnt think so.. it doesnt matter how fast the motor would spin up you still have the same compression on the inside..

Make sure you do your compression test on a fully warmed up engine.

as long as it cranks the same speed then there's no difference.
