OK-just completed my leak test on the 93 72000 mile motor. 5% or less on all cylinders. I only warmed the car for about 5 minutes or so. with the leak test complete, on to compression test. One problem, I blew up my compression tester. I knew the hose was getting a little weak. 911s are hard on them it seems because of the heat build up inside the valve covers. I hooked it up to #1, started the engine, opened the throttle, BANG! I thought something expensive just broke. Sounded like a party favor that you blow through. Flipped me out. Needless to say, no compression tests today. Ive got a hard line fitting for my tester, but that requires 2 people, im alone today. I did forget that today was mothers day, and wrenching on a 911 all day..., I really need to be home for dinner, so Im planing to drop the engine this afternoon, and install tomorrow evening. The engine tin is not great, I will try and have it blasted and at least painted by tomorrow. I would like to have it powder coated, but time is an issue. here is a picture of my compression tester, and my leak down rig-Bill
