I use this compression tester and I'm happy with it. http://www.sears.com/craftsman-comp...1x000001&kpid=00947089000&kispla=00947089000P
Haven't bought the vacuum tester yet. Cheers!

Pressure/Vacuum test - MityVac 8500
Compression test - Bought mine at Autozone for $30 and it has worked fine
If you are completely replacing the top end I also bought the piston ring clamp set for about $10 from Bailey's. It was very handy when putting the cylinder back onto the piston.
I ended up with the Mityvac 8500. After some research, some websites state "Vacuum Pump". However, after a little investigating, other websites claim pressure/vacuum at the turn of a switch. Also bought a Lisle Compression Gauge.

+1 on the piston ring clamp kit. I have this from Baily's and has been very useful.
