Compression Kit for Cummins

[Jackman]

Can any wrenchers out there recommend a good quality compression test kit for Cummins? I see a lot of trash out there and want to avoid other peoples' mistakes but I dont want to get something a professional diesel mechanic would use everyday. I have a prp-kit for my gas engines but not diesel.

Looks like I bent a push rod from a possible valve issue. Not a turbo issue like I initially suspected in a previous post. I'd like to test compression before I would consider lifting the engine out of the boat.

Thanks in advance..
