There is a spark plug thread on the gauge end, is that correct? Are you interested in knowing if it will work with other brands of gauges?

As far as the size is concerned, it is the same as the spark plug in my Mazda Miata, and it is also

What is the fitment of this for ?

Selected User Reviews For INNOVA 3619 OHC Compression Tester Extension

I would like to point out that the product name is slightly pointed out, the hose does not have a valve at the end like the hose used for a compression tester
4/5

This is going to raise suspicions about the compression readings. By doing this, it effectively increases the volume of the cylinder, for a corresponding decrease in In other words, I am not using it for compression tests. I am using it for leakdown tests. There is no effect on leakdown results due to the lack of a pressure retaining valve. As I have a rather thin hose on my leakdown tester, it is hard to tighten it and obtain a good seal the o-ring When testing OHV engines, the ring should be removed from the engine. As a result of this extension, I am able to seal the head of my tester and the hose so that I don't have any erroneous leaks from the tester. A ring. Combine this with the Innova spark plug adapters for compression testers and you will be able to perform leakdown testing on just about anything you come across.

The 14mm holes thread right in to it with no problem
4/5

The spark plug holes on my Jeep V6 engine are recessed, so I bought this for that purpose. fits easily into the 14mm plug holes, and the compression tester attaches easily to the top end of the cord, which is similarly threaded. The outer layer is made of neoprene The rings should be seated and sealed. There have been reviews in which people say that theirs leaked, however this must be due to overexertion This caused the extension to tighten, which then caused the issue To either break or expand, which caused the ring to ride up higher than it should have. Good tool, reasonably priced, and shipped promptly. Please snug up this tool only lightly with your hand after it begins to offer resistance, giving it half a turn when resistance begins to appear.

Perfect! I was looking for something exactly like that
5/5

It worked great, and was easy to seal. Great item for testing a 16-valve engine. Getting the spark plug hole out with the test hose is a lot easier than getting the hose tangled up in the plug threads.

This is a waste of space
3/5

In the first review, it was stated that the extra volume in the tube will hamper your results due to the lack of a one-way valve. It is odd that I've been using this extension for the past two years, but I'm still getting some numbers 30 psi lower than I would without it. *The first reviewer explains why they did not give a high rating. The 1979 MG Midget I have is a great vehicle. As a result of the extension, I was seeing 90 psi data across all 4 wheels. The compression gauge on my KD Tool showed consistent 130 but if I removed the extension it read 135 There was a reading of 140 psi. As a result, I simply could not figure out what the problem was until I read the first reviewer's. The item I purchased in 2014 is too late for me to get that money back, but maybe I can help you and let you avoid wasting your money There is no purpose to this product.

There are leaks
3/5

After I connected the compression tester to the extension, the connection still leaked even after I installed the new "O" ring and tightened the screw as much as I could. We checked compression without the extension, and the PSI was 20 PSI higher than it was with it. I then epoxyed the male end of the tester to the female end of it. The extension has now been permanently attached to one of the testers. I was able to sacrifice one of my three testers.

Be wary of low readings caused by artificial means
3/5

The product is solidly made, but This led to an effective reduction in the compression ratio as a result of the additional volume. Where did 201-210 come from In addition to 215 without it, it became 140.

Irrespective of what the product name says, this is not a compression tester extension
3/5

USE THIS ONLY FOR DIFFERENTIATION TEST, NOT As a leakdown test, you can use it. If you look at the compression gauge with the hose or extension that it came with, you will see a valve at the tip (if you look inside the head of the compression gauge, you will see where the valve is). In this case, the product is just a hollow tube (at least in the sample I received). In other words, the internal volume of the tube becomes part of the volume in the cylinder at the top of the piston's stroke, and it ceases to be compressed as the piston goes down, rather than remaining under You will therefore see a lower pressure than the real compression pressure on your compression gauge, particularly if your engine has a smaller displacement. This is one of the only reviews I gave two stars rather than one simply because I found it useful for testing leakdown.

For the life of me, I can't get the thread to continue
3/5

I tried threading it on for over two hours on a Ford E-150 but it wouldn't work It took 150 attempts to find the best method. It may be better to remove the engine from the vehicle if you're going to purchase it.
