I need to purchase a compression test instrument. I read many comments about various testers and there seems a common complaint about the tester becoming stuck in the spark plug hole and accuracy of gauge reading. Will you recommend a tester that will perform without these built in problems?

You need a universal type compression tester that screws into the sparkplug port-I don't recommend the rubber tip hand held compression tester-
