- Dear netters
-
- I thought of making a compression meter by brazing a copper tube
- to an old sparkplug and connect it to a simple manometer.
-
- Will this work? Should I make a one-way valve in the tube?
- Will I measure the pressure in the cylinder, or in the whole
- of cylinder, plug and tube?
-
- How is a compression meter constructed anyway?
-
- Thanks, eur.
