Scope Skills: Compression, Cranking and Confirmation
Most technicians assume that a scope is a tool for advanced drivability diagnostics. However, for basic mechanical checks for compression and cranking, using a scope can help confirm a problem and build a diagnostic strategy faster.
Using a Scope
