[QUOTE="sean donato, post: 7541065, member: 123795"] You only need a valve at the end of the hose. I have several compression gauges, and many test gauges, I like to swap out the gauge to check for consistency. Be hooking the gauge up you are just giving the cylinder a "tank" to fill up. A double valve isn't needed. And on the compression not being important thing, I've never seen any engine manufacturers say don't worry about the compression. They all have minimum pressure specs, or have a leak down procedure to verify the condition of the cylinder assembly. Telling someone off for doing their due diligence is a tad ignorant. Get the right tool for the job. [/QUOTE]
