Spark Plug Hole Thread Size

Whats up everybody.

Anybody know what size of plug I need when performing a compression test, or does the right size that fits into the spark plug hole come with the tester?

Thanks

-Jon

Most testers come with several adapters, so get one of those.

Alright just to let people know, the size when buying a compression tester is 18mm of which will fit the Rx-7's spark plug hole. This size is standard with most compression testers.

I got my tester at Sears for $25. Not bad, but I haven't tried it yet.
