I like that idea.

I rent it all the cam swap tools for a very reasonable price. The JPR Rods, The Crane dual spring tool and the air fittings for the cylinder head. And NO its not the hose from a compression tester. Its $40 from Napa for the air fitting's and hose. You can rent all three tools for less from me.
If you can put a spark plug in you can use the hose. If you cant you shouldnt be trying to do the work in the first place.

Like I said, the hose can be found in a compression test kit.....

HAHAHA HOW MUCH WAS THAT TESTER?!? Mine was like $20 from NAPA and the hose isnt removable. So yes your right you can use a hose from a nice compression tester KIT But to say you get the hose from a compression test kit is incorrect. You can buy it as its own entity and dont need to buy a compression test kit to get it. Which is whats implied when you say you get it from a compression tester. So yes I'm sure about that

Read my initial post again, and notice it is un-edited.
The OP was asking what he should ask for when if he went to Auto-Zone, or the like, and was looking for this hose. I was trying to help him out if the idiot behind the counter looked at him like he had 2 heads.
