There are so many faults that can affect the compression test results, and so many types of HGF that won't affect it, that I don't think a compression test is a very reliable way to detect HGF.

If the gasket under the cylinder head looks damaged, you can check it yourself and save time and money.If a combustion leak is present, a small amount of exhaust gases is leaking into the cooling system.

there will always be a debate on what parts of a blown gasket this will detect and always debates on test fluid type / colour. Just plug the tool into the radiator cap and pour a small amount of the indicator liquid into the tool. Problem is you have water > oil and vice versa, and then cylinder to oil exclusive, and/or cylinder to water exclusive, or a combination of all three. The kit is very easy to use and quickly tells you if there are combustion gasses in your cooling system. Does your car sometimes have starting problems, lose cooling water or does the engine overheat quickly?I think I still failed the test, because there was quiet strong coolant movement that still got into the test fluid.

During the test on the radiator reservoir it is mandatory to take extra care when unscrewing the cap on a warm engine and during the test itself - risk of burns! Reinstall top cap (it removed) and install bulb by gently twisting into top plug, metal valve end up.

Lead times are shown on the product and trolley pages and are always advertised in working days (Monday to Friday). BT-1 BASIC Tester is the simplest and cheapest combustion leak tester on the market but still a quite effective tool for detecting medium combustion leaks in engines with liquid cooling systems. Other damage to the engine, such as hairline cracks in the engine block or defective seals in the cylinder liner, can also be the cause of the detected CO2.
