Hi, i'm looking into getting a cylinder leakdown tester.

here's a couple i'm looking at

@ harborfreight http://www.harborfreight.com/c...94190

@summitracing
http://store.summitracing.com/...w=sku

if someone can recommend any other brands or places that carry them i'd much appreciate it.

OR even better, if you know a parts store that carries them that'd be real handy(wouldn't have to wait for shipping).

thanks!

 

There's a couple of nice ones on the summit site.

 

thnx

any1else?

 

I kinda 'made' one out of a compression tester + air regulator valve. Are you particularly interested in the % leakdown, or rather where it is coming from?

 

I bought this Summit Racing one: http://store.summitracing.com/...w=sku. The hose on it leaked, but the hose from my old compression tester fit on it so I use it with that hose.

the % # mostly,

basically my compression results are even across all four,
but they're alot lower than they used to be..
still well within specs, but I still want to know before I do anything with the motor.

 

Correct me if im wrong but dont they all basically have the same function just a different price and brand?

Yeah they are. It's just some of them are more accurate and durable. The way I see it is the better the brand the more it cost.

 

Or for the DIY type
