Hey guys, I need to buy a hose that I would be able to hook up into the spark plug hole, pressurize it, and then be able to work on the valve train without dropping the valve inside. What can you guys recommend? Something with preferably threads on both side, because I'll be using a mini compressor, and most likely will have to setup some kind of adapter inline.

Lots of options out there, I have a Milton S1257 leakdown tester that has a seperate quick disconnect hose. Some compression testers have a disconnect hose, think Lisle makes a disconnect hose. Maybe check Summit?

That's a great suggestion. I can probably go rent one from AutoZone and then find a conversion that I can bolt up to the hose from the mini compressor, so I can attach to the quick disconnect on the leakdown test hose.

I bought my compression tester at Harbor freight for cheap.it has a quick coupling. The Auto Zone loaner sounds like the best Idea yet
