If it's a gasoline engine, there are spark plug holes.

In that case, there are adapters you need, and I *think* the compression tester goes in in place of the injectors? Not really sure on that, I don't generally do diesels.

All the rads minus the ac rad(have to get system evacuated)

You don't have to plug the fuel feed tube holes, the tool seals at the bottom and air can only go out the top hole.
