I’ve heard this many times about the long hose and I want to start a conversation about it. To me, it doesn’t matter if the hose is 100 feet long. You keep pulling the engine over until the gauge doesn’t go any higher, and that’s the compression. The check valves in the compression gauge basically make the engine into an air compressor and it will KEEP compressing air in the hose until the cylinder reaches it’s max. Am I not right? Not to be a nit picker but I have heard this so many times and I don’t get it.
Long live American manufacturing!
