Default RE: Compression Gauge/Tester, whose and where?

Dick,

With all due respect, the application of the engines that I'm using and the ability to determine a rough condition from new has tremendous financila impacts on the mission. Enough that success or failure could possibly be determined. By itself, this would not be a reliable indication of anything, but comparartive rpm values between the last and the next flight, along with ground and in-flight telemetry in multiple areas, can possibly provide a go or no go decision when it comes to anticipated engine relibility/condition for the next flight. This IS NOT for modeling purposes.

Terry,

Thanks a bunch for the part numbers, I'll be going there later today to place an order.
