Yes, I want to keep trying. I have seen these but don't know if the 'quick disconnect' is the same size and will work. I'm guessing yes.

The only thing I can think of is the fitting that goes inbetween the M10 x 1.0 fitting and the grease whip is to long putting the top of the grease whip metal to high. If it was a little shorter then the flexible part of the whip would be where the rocker and push rod is.

Hello Todd, would you take a picture of yours? By the way, what was your compression?

Joey, those numbers are probably a little high, I hope mine are 400+. I've read if your 350+ and 15% of each other, your good but IDK.

 

I will look at my snapon comp tester in morning and see watit says for powerstrokes and try and put up apic if I can ,I bought it wen I was doing my IdI a coupleyears ago

 

Thanks Axel 56.

I think I figured it out. They sold me a wrong fitting making it to tall and putting the metal part of the grease whip to high. This is what I need:

M10-1/8F8OHGS PARKER HANNIFIN CORP. PARM10-1/8F8OHGS CONVERSION ADAPTERM10 X 1/8 NPT PARKER - Marshall E. Campbell Co.

 

my snapon adator number is TU-15 22A its about a 7 inch whip

 

I just noticed that I bought the tester from snapon its made by star products TU-15-53

 

dont know how to put up a pic

 

You have to have photobucket or another service and copy and paste the IMG image onto this page.

 

be no pic then

 

Upload it to your photo album here on FTE, then link to it.

 

The compression gage I used was a steel tube about 3/16 dia. and about 10 inches long then connected to the flex hose and gage.

One end with the o-ring looked like a GP..the other end had a Q-connector

You stuck the GP looking end with the o-ring into the GP hole and run it in finger tight..the other end had a 12 mm nut where the Q-connect fitting was. You gave it 1/4 turn with a wrench.

He did tell me any thing 350 or less was not good.....and any spread between cylinders more than 25 psi was a bad thing too.

 

I got it. Thanks Darin.

Glenn, I'll go out to the shop and get you a pic here in a bit. The fittings for the GP hole to grease whip where M10 to 1/8npt female to the grease whip. Then 1/8npt female to female and the adapter that came with the kit. Pic in a half hour or so.

 

You don't have to Todd, what happened is they sold me the wrong fitting. The M10 x 1.0 needed the 1/8 npt female end, not the male end on it that they gave me an adapter for making it too 'tall' to get below the rocker.

 

Yes. I worded mine wrong as well, but you've got it now!

 

Thanks Todd, now to find one around here. I'll probably have to order it online and WAIT!! Plenty of other stuff to do anyway.

 

No problem Glenn. Disregard my text!
