Default Re: Leakdown Testing

Make sure the piston is on TDC for each cylinder tested. You can use the timing marks on the balancer to confirm piston position. Most leakdown testers don't actually put the 100PSI into the cylinder, though the gauge shows 100 the actual cylinder pressure is much less, believe they use an orifice of some type. Maybe someone else has a more accurate explanation.Joe
