Should work just fine. Them fancy gauges is for them hi-tech city boys ya know, hell us shade tree types can do it with our mouths if we been laying off the smokes! lol Kidding. Seriously though, you can do it fine without the gauges, just make sure you dont pump more air into the combustion chamber than needed...dont take much to cycle the piston on these motors. And besides...were arent looking for the source of a leak...mainly checking to see if the SOB is leaking in the first place!

On your choice of coolants...I knew I liked you for some reason. Regardless of what anyone else says...there aint a damn thing wrong with the Havoline Orange juice. As long as system is maintained which applies to any coolant. I have never had a coolant related issue since switching to Havoline Orange and prefer spending less than $6 a gallon. I contributed to multi brand chemical analysis (sp?) last year where damn near every coolant brand was sent of to Titan Labs in Colorado....stuff is almost identical to the Toyota Red with the exception of Silica and Moly content...Toyotas was throught the roof!
Let me know whathcya figure out...
