Yes and yes. 
VERY NICE!! Linux for me please!
And to all, I am extending the GB for 2 more weeks. I admit this is a last minute decision, however my webstore is not up at this time and I keep getting requests for orders. So...GB price is good until July 9th!!

Hello Andy, shipping time is currently 2-3 weeks from receipt of payment.
Yours (and 5 others) ship tomorrow!
On a personal note: I had wanted this last batch to be out about a week ago, but the real world always seems to get in the way. I've spent the last week getting setup in a small warehouse and just yesterday was able to get back to working on testers. No more assembling these things on the kitchen table!

Compression numbers on my 3mm one piece ceramic apex seal engine with 17,000 km that has detonated twice with audible detonation...
front: 72 75 75 @ 277 RPM
rear: 50 59 65 @ 288 RPM
Corrected:
front: 74.5 77.6 77.6 @ 277 RPM
rear: 51.7 61.0 67.2 @ 288 RPM
I'm not too worried about the low compression numbers but the rear rotor is definitely weaker. The car still runs great at the track so I'll wait until the end of the season to open her up. I was planning to do it anyway to observe the effects of methanol on the internals.

Glad the tester is working well for you. Please do post here when you crack that keg open. It'd be neat to see what condition those seals are in to give numbers like that...whether one is chipped or just cracked.

if you could how much would you be looking for one including the delivery

And yes, the GB is officially over. A big thanks to everyone and I hope you all enjoy your compression testers....and that you tell all your friends how much you enjoy it and encourage them to buy one as well.
I haven't heard any bad news back from anyone yet, but if there are any questions or problems please feel free to email or PM me. I've learned quite a bit from this and I plan to continue developing my compression testers. Thanks again!-John
P.S.- I assume a moderator will lock this thread now?
