Finally getting after my WD45 D. While I’m addressing some injector pump issues I thought it would make sense to also get some idea what condition the top end of this engine in. A pretty good indication of that, I’m guessing, would be a compression test. I’ll have to buy a tester, as the one I have only goes high enough to cover gas engines. Looking on-line there seems to be any number of testers, but even more different types/configurations/sizes/types of injector inserts/adaptors. . Anyone have experience with this and could maybe recommend and adaptor type/size that has worked for them? Thanks in advance! Mike
