I want to make up a compression tester for my DB885. Is gutting and modifying an old injector the easiest solution to hooking the gauge hose to the engine? What is the cheapest gauge that'll work? This'll probably be only a one or two time use unit.
I am assuming the injectors seal compression via some sort of washer (Cat) or cup in the head (Cummins). By fitting a different injector or in this case a compression gauge adapter, aka old injector, is there a danger of creating a leak?
Also, with the injectors out can hoses simply be stuck on the fuel lines and directed into a container?
