Aagh. My apologies, I got you mixed up with someone else who had done a before comp test. Why do you need to do it? I know where Rob set the cam timing and you have the correct pistons, are you just curious ? Do what Speedy suggests, big question is, do you have a decent gauge?

@Neville Lush "Decent gauge" - what do you recommend ?

I am not curious I believe it’s perfect, Rob asked me to compression test, I thought it would show if the piston rings were bedded in correctly and making good compression and sealing correctly, I ordered one off line seems there all made in China, middle of pack purchase bluedriver is the one I ordered.

I have a snap on gauge, genuine Suzuki ones are excellent quality. The schraeder valve should be in the end of the hose where the spark plug electrode normally sits, so one does not have to pump up the hose as well.

why are they calling you Barbie? I have seen pictures of you, and on reflection you don't seem that cute. Mind you I am no oil painting either.

I checked and the shrader valve is at the end of the hose where spark plug electrode sits, I’m going to test and post numbers and if they don’t look right I will check this gauge with a known psi and verify accuracy.

My question is how will the compression test work if both spark plugs are removed as Speedy said to do ? I'm lost on this.
