This adapter is a crucial component for accurately assessing engine health by allowing a compression tester to interface with spark plug ports of varying thread sizes found in these engines. Automotive professionals and mechanics will find this tool indispensable for routine maintenance, diagnostics, and troubleshooting. Its design addresses the specific requirements of Ford Triton engines, ensuring compatibility and accuracy during critical engine performance evaluations.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Dual Thread Compatibility: Features both M12 and M16 spark plug thread sizes in a single adapter, eliminating the need for multiple tools when working with different model years of Ford Triton engines. This includes compatibility with 2004-2007 Triton engines using M16 plugs and 2008 models with M12 plugs.
- Accurate Diagnostics: Provides a secure and sealed connection to the engine's spark plug well, ensuring that compression readings are accurate and reliable for effective engine health assessment.
- Professional Grade Construction: Manufactured from high-strength steel, this adapter is built to withstand the rigors of repeated use in professional shop environments, offering extended service life.
- Time Efficiency: Simplifies the compression testing process by offering a direct fit for the specified Ford engines, which helps save valuable diagnostic time.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Compatibility: Combination adapter for both M12 and M16 spark plug threads
HOW TO USE:
- Prepare the Engine: Ensure the engine is at operating temperature, then shut it off. Disconnect the spark plug wires or coil packs.
- Remove Spark Plugs: Carefully remove all spark plugs from the engine. Keep track of the cylinder each plug came from for diagnostic purposes.
- Attach Adapter: Thread the appropriate end of the Lang Tools 73111 adapter into the spark plug hole of the cylinder you wish to test. Hand-tighten first to prevent cross-threading, then use a wrench if necessary to ensure a snug, but not overly tight, seal.
- Connect Compression Tester: Attach the hose of your compression tester to the other end of the Lang Tools 73111 adapter. Ensure a secure connection.
- Perform Test: Follow the instructions for your specific compression tester. Typically, this involves disabling fuel and ignition systems, then cranking the engine for several revolutions while observing the gauge reading.
- Repeat and Analyze: Repeat the process for all cylinders. Compare the readings to the manufacturer's specifications and among the cylinders to diagnose potential issues.
- Remove Tools: Once testing is complete, remove the compression tester, then carefully unthread the Lang Tools 73111 adapter. Reinstall spark plugs and connect wires/coil packs.
