RARE & ESSENTIAL DETROIT DIESEL TOOL!

For Sale: Kent-Moore Model J-38768-A Series 60 Cylinder Compression Test Adapter

This is an extremely difficult-to-find, authentic Kent-Moore specialty tool, essential for any heavy-duty mechanic or shop that works on classic Detroit Diesel engines.

Condition:

  • FANTASTIC CONDITION: The tool shows minimal signs of use and has been meticulously maintained. It is fully functional and ready for immediate service.

  • Complete with Original Case: Includes the original, durable Kent-Moore case, ensuring the precision adapters are protected and organized.

Product Details:

  • Tool: Kent-Moore J-38768-A

  • Application: Cylinder Compression Test Adapter (often sold as an adapter set)

  • Engine Compatibility: Designed specifically for Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines (and often Series 50) to accurately check cylinder compression by fitting into the injector bore.

  • Usage: This adapter is the critical piece that connects a standard diesel compression gauge (like the Kent-Moore J-6692-B, sold separately) to the engine's injector port to perform a proper compression test.

Why This Tool is Valuable: The J-38768-A adapter is a specific requirement for the Series 60 engine. Accurate compression testing is a non-negotiable diagnostic step for identifying internal issues like worn piston rings, valve damage, or head gasket leaks. Owning the correct Kent-Moore factory tool saves time and guarantees precision for these legacy engines.

Included in the Sale:

  • Kent-Moore J-38768-A Compression Test Adapter (Set)

  • Original Kent-Moore Storage Case

Note: The J-38768-A is an adapter set and typically requires a separate diesel compression gauge (e.g., J-6692-B or equivalent) to perform the full test. Please verify compatibility with your gauge before purchasing.
