One thing I don't get is how I can tighten the air hose that feeds into the spark plug hole...it would need to be tightened like the plugs right? To make a good seal so the air wouldn't leak right out there?

It's made by Milton...the company that makes those little M connectors for your air tools.

I've been putting this off & off, and it's warm now so we all can't wait to work on our Maxima's

1. buy leakdown tester.
2. read directions that come with it.
3. use.

usually the fitting is crimped onto the end of the hose and has an o-ring to seal it against the top of the head. screwing it in by hand is all that's necessary.
