Hey everyone,
I need to do a compression test but can't really see a good way to get the gauge in without removing the battery tray. And since its a basic compression meter I need the battery to run the test. Any tips for this one?
Back story: Cam chain tensioner failed about 3 months ago. Replaced it and it runs fine but now makes a horrible metallic ticking noise between 2 and 5krpm. I'd like to check compression to see if a piston kissed a valve and bent it, giving increased clearance and the ticking.
