A remote starter switch and a top-quality, screw-in-type compression gaugeâ such as these models from Sears, Roebuck & Companyâ can be used to measure the pumping efficiency of an engine, as well as ...

If your vehicle has been running roughly or seems to be losing power, it's possible that there's a lack of pressure in one or more of the cylinders. Without enough pressure, the fuel/air mixture doesn ...

You've probably heard racers talking about leakdown testing as a method of verifying engine condition. Being a hot rodder, you've probably performed a similar function by using a compression tester to ...

Years ago, it was common for shops to have a central power source that drove all the tools through a system of belts, wheels and driveshafts. The power was routed around the work space by mechanical ...

Micropillar compression testing [1] is fast emerging as a viable alternative to nanoindentation, for the measurement of mechanical properties and deformation behavior of small volumes and thin films.
