Default HOW TO: Cylinder Leak Test

This is a video I made instead of doing a writeup on how to perform a cylinder leak test. I had to do it to mine anyway so I figured I would make a how to.

Sidenote: The proper way is with a guage and shut-off valve, and watch the needle to see if the cylinder is losing pressure. The way I did it is for listening for leaks

I know my wheel is ghetto, the one was like this when I bought them, he sprayed it with paint stripper. I got them for real cheap though so I can't complain lol I'm getting them powder coated white or gunmetal soon. I have a friend that powdercoats for cheap.

Listen to how bad my valves were leaking...
