Hi all.

I bought a compression tester and tried it on my parts van 1.9 WBX
engine. On two of the cylinders, the gauge would drop while still
threaded in sparkplug hole.

I was doing this w/o remote starter.

The gauge should hold its' reading right? i.e. once it's pumped up, it
should stay there correct?

It was threaded properly, and adaptor to hose was threaded properly too.

Apologies for such and elementary question!

Neil.
