I'm a bit far away to lend you mine but they're cheap enough to buy, available at Halfods and here http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=15931&MAN=Draper-Petrol-Engine-Compression-Test-Kitds

I've got one but as said you're a bit far away. Usually about £15 to buy. Screw into the spark plug holes. Dead easy to use. Designed to test how healthy the engine is regarding piston ring seal and valve seal. Commonly used to diagnose head gasket failure.

I have one :) Can lend it to you at the next Longwell meet if you're going?
