The concern had nothing to do with the compression tester that uses the glow plugs. The original question concerned the use of a compression tester using the injector ports. My concern was whether the tester took up a similar volume of space that the injector takes up. Apparently, as judging by the photos, it does. So, the error would be minimal.
