Compression testing

Happy new year all. Working on a 1978 450C w/ turbo. And a 1969 JD 400 backhoe. I was going to ask about a part # for the correct adapter for compression testing. I believe I have finally found the correct one.

Is there a better choice?
Is a compression test best done cold or warm?
All my gas motor experience does not apply sometimes.

The 400 is running sweet. My 450 needs an in frame and is going to get one this summer. A brand new head gasket is blown again and I hope to find a liner problem or the cause.

Coolant and oil pan heaters are on and working fantastic. It has been colder than normal.

I was trying to PM lavoy on a in frame kit. Still not working.

I did get it, sent a response, you may or may not get it. Right now, e-mail is the best bet until the board problems are fixed.

OK, I was not sure it made it. And my internet has been down since this morning. Blue skies too, which is unusual.

Thanks.
