do u need a special compression tester for the rotary?

[Jit]

yes you do...normal compression testers will not give the correct reading or give you a reading per combustion face

[grinder]

you can use a normal one - but its not as accurate and you have to hold the release valve down to do it

i think pip charges about 15-25 for the job though

me again

lol thats good, iv got one with the release pin snapped off lol, i was gonna bin it but il now call it my specialist rotary engine tester :rollin

i have used one in the past and it gave a good indication of engine life ( dead at that point )

they are not as accurate as a proper one - but it does the trick

I know mate, was looking forward to it aswell, but my cars got a water seal problem and is losing water, might still try and come to it though.

Just a bit of a Warning, If you do try it your self make sure the threaded part of the Tester is NOT!! longer then your Plug Threaded part (or you run the risk of wiping out your Apex\'s on the end of the tester )
