Efficient Diagnostics: Provides a reliable method for technicians to quickly and accurately check cylinder compression, which is vital for diagnosing engine performance issues, misfires, and starting problems. User-Friendly Connection: The attached hose with a quick-disconnect coupler simplifies the connection to the compression tester, enhancing ease of use in diverse engine bay configurations.SPECIFICATIONS: Part Number: TU-15-24 Thread Size: M14 x 1.25 Connection Type: Quick Disconnect Engine Compatibility: Ford 6.0L Power Stroke, Navistar/International VT365, International Harvester VT365, International 4200 Series Included in Product: 1x Lang Tools M14-1.25 Diesel Compression Test Adapter (TU-15-24)HOW TO USE: Prepare the Engine: Ensure the engine is cool and all glow plugs from the cylinders you intend to test are carefully removed. Keep track of the order of the glow plugs if reinstalling them in their original positions. Attach Adapter to Engine: Select the cylinder you wish to test. Carefully thread the M14-1.25 end of the TU-15-24 adapter into the glow plug hole until it is hand-tight and secure. Do not overtighten. Connect to Tester: Take your Lang Tools TU-15 Diesel Compression Tester. Connect the quick-disconnect fitting on the adapter’s hose to the corresponding quick-disconnect port on the TU-15 tester’s main hose or gauge assembly. Ensure it clicks firmly into place. Perform Test: Follow the instructions for your TU-15 Diesel Compression Tester to perform the compression test, which typically involves cranking the engine for a few revolutions while the tester measures peak pressure. Record Reading: Note down the compression reading displayed on the gauge. Disconnect and Repeat (if necessary): Once the reading is recorded, press the quick-disconnect release button to detach the tester from the adapter. Unscrew the adapter from the engine. Repeat the process for any other cylinders you need to test. Reinstall Glow Plugs: After all testing is complete, carefully reinstall all glow plugs into their respective cylinders, tightening them to the manufacturer’s specified torque.BENEFITS OF USING LANG TOOLS M14-1.25 DIESEL COMPRESSION TEST ADAPTER (TU-15-24): Allows for accurate and consistent compression readings.
