I can't remember the last time I used a bent compression gauge, the older cars needed at least 10 degrees bent compression, but these newer cars probably use a lot more.
I always used johnson rods. Negated the need for piston return springs.
Johnson rods were the best, weren't they? Good times, good times...
Do they still make muffler impeller pressure testers? Gotta keep that exhaust flowing freely.
Oddly enough, Johnson bars/rods used to exist. On older caterpillar tractors the Johnson bar would change any gear to reverse by simply moving the Johnson bar back and forth. Cats built before the Johnson bar was developed were known as slide bars.
You just can't find a right angle compression gauge these day. I feel ya.
