How can you do a cylinder leak down test? What, if any, special tools are needed.

Hey Brett,
You need a special leakdown tester. It measures the amount of air leaking from the cylinder when it is at TDC. You should be able to buy one for around $50 from most auto stores. Here is an article about building your own. http://www.xs11.com/tips/misc/misc3.shtml Good luck! Dave |
