which leak down tester would you all recommend? i'm not looking for the spendy snap-on or mac tools variety, but i'd like something decently accurate. thanks.

no it isnt the threaded parts that stick i was talking the air fitting and bleed off fittingpepe le pew said:would the "stickiness" of the hf unit's fittings be something that could potentially strip the threads in an aluminum head?
Gerr said:it is just a little less refined some of the fittings get stuck a little once in a while nothing you couldn't live with. The snap-on one is like a fine tuned machined piece so it works like butter every time but then again I use it probably once a month so its nice to have it work so well.
I don't think either would pose a problem, after you get use to it. the first couple times I tried to get the adapter started took me a few minutes, after learning the quirks it is routine nowpepe le pew said:gerr, thanks for the clarification. the spark plugs on the wj are deep under the individual coil-on-plugs. is the rubber hose on either the snap-on or harbor freight unit more flexible than the other such that it would be difficult to thread properly into the spark plug hole?
