... I did find a good FAQ on leakdown tests (catered to FWD cars for the how-to) : Leak down test FAQ . <web browsing> <web browsing> Oh hey, it looks like if I have access to compressed air (which I do), I should be able to thread a fitting into the spark plug hole, turn engine to TDC for that cylinder, and turn the air on to see if any bubbles start coming up through the radiator. I guess that would work for other parts of the test, too, if someone was in a pinch without a leak down tester.


Brown,yeah, nice little link; they even have my gauges! Theoretically, your idea should work; with the valves closed. Also, don't forget to take it out of gear and set the brake so you don't run over yer foot! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
