Need to do a test on a westerbeke 13a. Did a goggle looking for test meter. Does anyone have info about the best compression tester that will work with this engine?

We use one from Harbor Freight, but had to make adapters for various engines, like Perkins. No problem if you have a lathe, drill press and some scrap pieces of aluminum. I made ours from an old bronze prop shaft.
