I just read Z1000Pudin's "Low Compression" Topic. He mentions some good info found from a leak-Down Test.
I've never done one of these Leak-Down test.
Can anyone tell me how it is done and what equipment I need? ... I guess I need a compressor.

PS... I did a search of Leak-down Test .. I found a lot of leaks!
Leaking Carbs, Leaking cylinders, Leaking Brakes and leaking sumps along with general oil leaks!.

Garn,
Check out this link to wikipedia,very good explanation with picture set up

I made one up using an old spark plug with an adaptor brazed on for my push on conector to my compressor,an in line pressure gauge is a good idea though some compressors have an in built one,good tool to tell where leakage is occuring..
