Abstract
A compression tester adapter is provided. The compression adaptor includes a generally cylindrical plug fitting, including a pilot segment, an external thread, a cylinder segment, a gasket located between the external thread and the cylinder segment and a plug end; and a connector fitting including an attachment interface; and a hose attached to the plug fitting. A method of adapting a compression tester spark plug hose for use with a spark plug socket is provided. The method includes; engaging a threaded spark plug socket in an internal combustion engine cylinder head; attaching a compression tester spark plug hose; and transmitting a compressed gas to the compression tester spark plug hose wherein the spark plug socket thread is configured with a nominal diameter of 12 millimeters; and creating a substantially airtight seal against a periphery of a tapered seat near a inner extreme of the spark plug socket.

19. A compression tester adapter, comprising:
-
means for engaging a threaded spark plug socket in an internal combustion engine cylinder head; means for attaching a compression tester spark plug hose; flexible means for transmitting a compressed gas; means for affixing the flexible means for transmitting to the means for engaging; means for affixing the flexible means for transmitting to the means for attaching, wherein the means for engaging is configured to engage an internal thread configured with a nominal diameter of 12 millimeters; and means for creating a substantially airtight seal against a periphery of a tapered seat near a inner extreme of the spark plug socket, the means for creating a substantially air tight seal located between the means for engaging and the means for attaching, wherein the means for creating a substantially airtight seal is mounted to a cylinder portion having substantially the same diameter as a pilot segment.

20. A method of adapting a compression tester spark plug hose for use with a spark plug socket, comprising:
-
engaging a threaded spark plug socket in an internal combustion engine cylinder head; attaching a compression tester spark plug hose; transmitting a compressed gas to the compression tester spark plug hose, wherein the spark plug socket thread is configured with a nominal diameter of 12 millimeters; and creating a substantially airtight seal using a gasket, against a periphery of a tapered seat near an inner extreme of the spark plug socket wherein the gasket is located on a cylinder portion haying substantially the same diameter as a pilot segment between the thread and a cylinder segment of the socket.
