Thumbs up Calling anyone in the BayArea!!!

Hello,
I recently bought a compression tester which stopped working on the fourth of my five cylinders. My car is all apart and I would like to re-test all five cylinders. I would return the gauge to my friendly neighboorhood shop but I was a cheapskate and bought it on Ebay!!!! The return will take over a week.

Well, I need to get my paws on a diesel compression tester. A drip tube to do the IP timing would be awesome as well.

I have access to a full size lift and well equiped shop any night of the week. The shop is in San Jose. I would love to trade a favor for a favor. Something like: you lend me the tools, with a cash deposit, and I'll help you do a job with my lift. We would just have to be cleaned up by morning. Lemme know.

I would be happy to help except that I don't have a compression test gauge. I really need to invest in one at some point...

Sorry...and good luck!

I sent you a OM (private mail) - no reply yet, did you see a notice for it? I had a friend with a drip tube to load. In San Mateo no less.
And for that busted compression gauge meter, there is one on Ebay cheap:

Hi,
Dieseldiehard, I didn't get any private messages yet. Would I get an email notification or something? My car is all back together but I would like to get a look at your friend's drip tester because I am going to make a few of them. Maybe call me 650-347-1542 or email me mdpetty78@yahoo.com to get your friends details. Thanks.
