leak down tester
HI GUYS,I"VE GOT POOR COMPRESSION ON MY Z1A,CYLINDERS 2&3,ONLY 70PSI,I NEED TO DO A LEAK DOWN TEST,HAS ANYONE GOT THE KIT,LEND,HIRE OR SELL,ANY HELP OR ADVICE APPRECIATED.THANKS
is that across all 4 cylinders or just one ?
you need to test hot with the throttle wound fully open.
given you've done that you can get rough guess as to whether its valves or rings by pouring a bit of oil into the bore - if the pressure goes up the rings are shot - if not then its valves.
do you have a friendly local garage you can tap up to help ?
