I wonder if it's not sealing up

good thread I want to do a leak down test as I have a compressor and it's a pretty cool way to see sealing too

I need to do a compression check on the old 100k miles LSV and see where it's at with the bigger cams

This thread made me check my tools and I discovered I have both a compression tester and a vacuum tester that I never use. I don't think they came from Harbor Freight, but I suppose they could have. Both made by Actron/Sunpro. Probably 5-10 years old, used once as I recall. No guarantees on the accuracy of the comp tester

or how well the vacuum tester works. I know they worked once. Anyway, I am making them available to anyone on the forum for the cost of shipping or better yet, if you are in the greater Chicago area you can pick them up or we can meet somewhere for an exchange. I placed a listing in the parts for sale section here as well. PM me if interested. First come first served.--Bob

The compression tester and vacuum pump are spoken for. Thanks--Bob
