Recently I was trying to find a compression tester for my D47u. I tried everyplace I could find that sold that sort of equipment. Nobody even had a suggestion where to find one. I posted here and a couple other places. I got nothing. I came up with a solution. I thought I'd post it here for anyone who may have the same issue in the future. I already had a diesel compression tester. Nothing fancy, got it on Amazon for just under $40.00. It comes with several adapters, none to fit a D315.I made a bracket so the adapter that fits a Perkins and I think also the D4400 can be used. And after cutting a slot, it fits in the case the tester came in. I used a short piece of angle from an old bed frame, 4" angle grinder, a ruler , and a piece of soap stone. There are two pieces which bolt onto the head using the studs on each side of the injectors. The two pieces are mirror images. I'm posting a crude drawing with the measurements,and a picture of it installed. Hope this might help someone.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
