equipment to do a leak down test

I want to do a leak down test on my 911 engine. I have a compressor, now what kind of gauges must I get to do the leak down test?

If it was me, I would use a dual gauge leakdown tester.

Good thread. Is there any instructions to explain HOW to do a leak down test, in addition to the equipment?

Please go read this thread and do a search on cylinder leak test.

Leak Down Numbers


Wayne’s book has some good stuff.

Best,
Grady
