Homemade test Gauges and Pressure Bleeder
 

I have been collecting bits and pieces to build a leakdown tester and some other home made gadgets. One of the most frustrating things is trying to screw the compression tester and leakdown tester into the spark plug hole.
I found a few things to make extensions for the whips. It's now easy to screw in the extentions and then hook up the whip to the gauges.
I also made a pressure bleeder out of a $12 bug sprayer.
This picture also has a CIS pressure test set.
I think these can be improved a bit, but here they are:

There are a few more detailed pictures in the techincal photo's section:

The leakdown will hopefully be in operation tonight. The epoxy needed to harden so I can drill the tiny #60 oriface. There is a link on this board how to make one for yourself. Mine is a 2 gauge type with the extention to get to our spark plug hole easily.
I thought they would be a useful addition to the tool loan program.
