Rotary compression tester

Check this out. It's fairly cheap. Anyone building engines often (hint, hint Ray!) needs this.

Yeah, I bought one for us quite a while ago. It does rock.

So this is the one you have Jeef? We need to check my compression some time soon. I'm curious as to what it is.

Whenever you feel like pulling your plugs, its really easy to check compression.

What do you mean welcome to last year? A good product isn't only a good product when it first come out. I have no clue how many people have seen it. Besides, you never know who still would find it useful. I stopped playing with rotaries on a daily basis before many people here even knew what they were!

I was just poking you the same way I poked Moon about stuff that I had already mentioned a year earlier.

Should I make a list of all the things I've done with rotaries that you didn't figure out until years later? I could you know!

Plan on? It's already got a filter, flywheel, ignition system, and exhaust! What else do I need??? I'm still waiting to install the 8 foot stickers, body kit and lowering springs with stock rims, and insanely large exhaust tip!

Keep in mind 40 mpg makes it all worth it!

You need 2 bottles because 2 is faster than 1.

WRONG!

2 is slower then 1. 2 has a bunch of curves, but 1 is straight and sleek

Haven't you seen the Fast and the Furious? He needed 2 of them! That was the most technically accurate car movie ever made so it must be true.

Purge it inside the cabin for laughs
