Was looking for help on the correct way to test compression on these old inlines. ( 77 Merc 1150)

Also does anyone have a specific gage and adapter they recommend?

Thanks

Any tester will work on cylinders 1-5. I was able to unscrew the rubber tip and install a brass elbow, and then the rubber tip, to get #6.

Alternatively, remove the four bolts holding the lower cowl to the cowling support and push the lower cowling down.
