It depends on the tester and the adapter you are using. They have
adapters for either the glow plug or injector holes. You dont
want the engine to start so you have to have the fuel shut off by
holding down the stop leaver while cranking. You usually use a
remote start switch for this or have someone crank from inside car
while you are holding the leaver and checking the readings on the
guage.

The thread on the tick suggested compression testing and that
got me to wondering about doing one.
Anyone have good advice on testing an old 300D 115 normally
aspirated engine?
Am I correct that one must remove the injectors and use those
holes for the tester?
What happens with the diesel fuel that should then be shooting
out all over at high pressure when one is testing? How does one
stop that?
I bought a compression tester a couple of years back but it is
sitting in the tool box and has yet to be used.
