I know once I post this 2.0 motor for sale, I'm going to be asked a bunch of questions (no, I will not take trades (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )
Namely compression or leakdown values.......compression I can do myself so that is a no-brainer (famous last words) Should I bother with trying to get a leakdown test for a Type IV motor??? |

Compresion test.... The leakdown test may vary depenting where the Piston is on its stoke. Some of the jugs walls will come egg shapped and lose compression mid-way up its stoke
