Hey guys, I want to do a leakdown test to determine where the compression is
going on cyl #3
on my 1.9L WBX. I already have the tool that screws into the spark plug
hole that you attatch to an air line.
Do I look for air coming out of the exhaust for bad exhaust valve?
Air coming into the crankcase indicates bad rings/valve guides?
leaking intake valve would show air coming out of the air distributor?
How do the pros do this?
Thanks for any tips.
Malibu Tony 85' Westy 1.9L 5 degrees BTDC.....compression: #1 100lbs, #2
135lbs, #3 60 lbs, #4 150 lbs
still hums at 70 on the flats, it's the hills that make
it feel like a diesel.....Have something to add on this topic today? Revive this thread in the forum »
