Leakdown Tester
A leakdown tester is a diagnostic tool used to assess the health and performance of an engine by measuring the leakage of compressed air or pressure within the combustion chambers. It helps identify potential issues such as worn piston rings, valve sealing problems, or cylinder head gasket leaks. A leakdown tester typically consists of a gauge, hoses, and adapters that connect to the spark plug holes.

When selecting the correct leakdown tester, there are a few key factors to consider. First, ensure compatibility with your engine type and size. Some leakdown testers are designed for specific engine configurations, such as four-cylinder, six-cylinder, or V8 engines. Additionally, check the pressure range of the tester to ensure it matches the specifications recommended for your engine.
Consider the quality and features of the leakdown tester. Look for a reliable and durable gauge that provides accurate readings. The tester should have a robust construction to withstand the pressures involved in the testing process. Some testers may offer additional features such as adjustable pressure regulators, audible leakage detection, or built-in pressure relief valves for convenience and ease of use.
