Connecting air to the tool and setting the pressure so that the first gauge reads 100psi BEFORE connecting to the cylinder. When I do connect to the cylinder, the pressure drops a bit. Do I re-adjust back up to 100psi before taking my % reading?
Thanks, Rob |

I am going to admit my technical ignorance here and say that I am not sure what a leakdown test is supposed to tell one about the condition of an engine. I am curious enough to ask if you would explain and what tools are used. Always willing to learn something new...

Allen hey allen, if you feel like bringing your 914 over we could check both for leakage over here, i've been tempted to pick up a leak down tester at harbor freight (unless you beat me to it!). |
