ADD Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 After a frustrating dyno session with Ryan a while back he advised me to get a comp/leak down test done on the car. Feeling real nervous about it for some reason! Can anything go wrong whilst doin these tests? Ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 No i dont think so, its testing the compression of each of the pistons and if any presure is leaking helping to identify where its leaking from. The car is in good hands with Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 160psi is a good figure, not sure what the lowest limit should be but all 6 should be pretty similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADD Posted August 24, 2010 Author Share Posted August 24, 2010 Good news had the car tested by daz today and leak down on all 6 cylinders are low and compression: cylinders 1-5 was 170 and cylinder 6 was 165. Daz said all was well. It looks like it's screwed tubbbied so I think time to go single! Gotta say though what a helpfull top bloke daz is, was more than willing to give advice and explain things.
