Hey I want to do a leakdown test to see how the rings are. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks,

Brandon

Do you have a leak down tester? this is like the one I have http://buy1.snapon.com/products/diagnostics/eepv309a.asp?partno=eepv309a&dir=catalog
then all you need is a air Compressor. they are easy to use if you need help let me know!

Yep...leak down test isn't to hard to do as long as you have compressed air and the tester tool. My dad made me one to use out of a few small air pressure guages, regulator, and a old compression tester.

Make sure the piston is held at top dead center, otherwise you are testing the bottom of the cylinder where there is very little wear and it will skew your readings.
