This kit organizes the most common spark-plug-thread sizes and provides quick-check cone adapters so you can test engines without time-consuming disassembly. The compact, foam-cut blue case keeps components secure and ready for mobile or garage use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I use the DAYUAN kit to test a petrol engine's compression?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTesting is straightforward: remove the spark plug, screw the correct threaded adapter into the plug hole or fit a rubber cone for quick checks, crank the engine with the throttle wide open, and read the gauge peak. Repeat for each cylinder and compare readings to the manufacturer's spec and to each other to identify weak cylinders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelect the matching adapter (M10, M12, M14, M18 or included 14mm\/18mm spark plug adapters).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttach the gauge securely to avoid leaks; use a cone adapter for non-threaded checks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrank 4–6 compression strokes while watching the gauge to record peak pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote pressure differences between cylinders; a drop \u0026gt;10–15% indicates a potential fault.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich fittings and adapters are included and why do they matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set includes male-threaded fittings in M10, M12, M14 and M18 sizes (each with an O-ring), plus dedicated 14mm and 18mm spark plug adapters and two rubber cone ends.
