Right Gordon, it has been used par an organiser in 2016 down here, the device is supposed to be the same as used in the US pumping oil (not air). Its the most accurate way to check the capacity when the plugs are not located on the top and center of the heads I guess (Does this men something or total garbage pigeon English style?). The whole PA tech team is said to be trained and received the new weapons. Mike, checking some engine will be quite easy, such like Alfa's and BD's too, dont you think so?
Anyway, its a good start.
