I got a question about compression check...

It's funny that this is taking so long to explain. Anyway, I wouldn't use eletrical tape to hold the valve open. Just unscrew the schreider valve from the bottom on the tester.
If anyone still has a question on how to do this, just read the FSM. Don't listen to any of us, we have no idea what we're talking about.

I feel like im repeating myself. Unscrewing the valve will be even worse, you are better off holding the valve in.
And why wouldn't you use electrical tape to hold the valve? Give me a good explaination? Just like the guy that though holding the valve half way open would give you bad readings when infact it will give you more accurate readings.
Glad none of you are doing a compression test on my motor.

I wish you would just go away.
Since when do we have to listen to you?
Your suggestion are so ludicrous, it's not even funny.
Just because it works for you, suddenly it applies to everyone?
Using electrical tape on the valve or holding it half way open is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
No matter how you slice it, NEITHER are "more accurate" versus a Mazda SST.

As usual you have no useful information to give and instead would rather start arguments.

Rotaman99, when I said "When you let go of the release, you'll get the max pressure of the three chambers ", maybe I wasn't very clear.
What I was trying to say is leaving the valve closed will give you the pressure of whichever chamber is the highest, not the highest pressure of each individual chamber.
Also, holding the valve open or half way, you can never have an accurate absolute pressure, because as the rotor compresses the air against the housing and moves the gauge, some air is escaping through the release valve. Watching the bounces is useful for comparing chambers only.

You seem to like to fudge your readings so they come close to what Mazda states.
My compression testers either don't come with Schrader valves, or I just take them out.
Maybe you can figure out how I did that...
We are not compairing Mazda's tester with a piston tester are we?
I stated that it is not important what the absolute number was as long as all the pulses are all about the same.
You're trying to **** with the tester just to get your numbers to get closer to what Mazda specs are.
How can you claim you're not "compairing" number?
Why are you bothering to try and get your numbers to read higher?
Duh?
And YES, one way IS more accurate then the other. Again, not compairing Piston tester to the Mazda tester.
Try again.

Because I don't get caught with the absolute numbers.

Thats a bunch of bulshit! My numbers are what I got from doing the compression testing the way I have been explaining. Show me where I fudged my numbers? Im sorry you can't figure out how to do the compression testing right and get good numbers with a piston tester.
When why would you care what Mazda wants in terms of absolute numbers?

Your argument is flawed.
Try again.
