It figures right after I bought my IH brand coolant filter head I ran into these on fleabay for $20 shipped, so I thought I'd pass it along in case anyone is looking for one. They are apparently similar to Fleetguard Part# 020416300S. I have not used these but my thinking is that a filter head is a pretty straight forward deal so it should be OK.

Also, this is the compression tester gauge I bought to test my engine for $18 +$9 shipping. It worked well in a NA engine. I just had to be a little creative with the way I routed the hose to a couple of the cylinders to make sure the angled coupler was lining up straight with the adapter at the second link below. The build quality of this non-branded tester seemed to me at least as good as that of my OTC leak down tester that cost much more. These testers/gauges are usually $$ and if you buy the gauge separate from the adapter they may very well not match. This setup worked well for me.

This is the compression test adapter ($8 +shipping) I bought to go with the tester, it's a S & G Tool Aid 34730:

I'm not affiliated with these, I'm just passing it along to other tool/gadget hounds LOL
