This was the best leakdown test video I've ever seen. Practical advice, friendly banter, and the kind of experience you'd get from a Saturday morning consult from a neighbor who spins wrenches for a living. I've always been intrigued by the design of a leakdown device. When I realized it is analogous to a voltage drop test in electronics, I got that warm glow of understanding, ha ha.

@STREETSTANG07 7 лет назад

Finally figured out how to add a comment. Thanks Eric for some of the best automotive repair videos on RU-vid. I retired four years ago with 35 years as a tool and die maker had auto repair in my blood since a teenager. I opened a small 2 bay garage a couple years ago and have used your site for many a job. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the civic diagnosis. Thanks again

Eric, I have unfortunately seen people make unkind comments about you and Mrs. O. I think you two are a wonderful couple and I'm sure have a great relationship. I don't know much about cars but learn something every video. If I ever get to NY, you are on the list of people to meet.

@89nissancrawler 7 лет назад

Great video with both of you. Looking forward to this series. One suggestion, it would be interesting to show your cost at the end, vs what customer cost would be, to show why a rebuild of existing engine/repair often isn't an economical choice. People often don't understand the time involved.

@wolfshead13 7 лет назад

@rjf2926 7 лет назад

Another favorite video, Eric. Real life isn't all that much fun but you have a gift for making the most of it when the situation permits. You may not even notice you're doing it but Mrs. O amps up your play factor X 10 and that's what I've enjoyed ever since the early days. Never forced, scripted, or rehearsed. Good Heavens, please find time to service her timing belt before she decides to do it herself!

@cccdetective787 7 лет назад

Hello Eric & Mrs O Enjoyed the video and showing that the crank can move during the test very usefull for novice to respect. Looking forward to the teardown and rebuild. I hope you will display an accounting of both hours and detailed charges for required repairs.Demonstrateing the difference will help people understand why a salvage unit not always the most economical way to go. Time is a valuable commodity. As I am a confirmen SMA supporterI hope that a full rebuild will be required but my bet is that once the head is off only top end will be necessary. Have a great Day.

@scottfirman 7 лет назад

Yup, pretty much blown head gasket,my bet is cracked head but I dont know much about those heads. That had to be the best video of you and the Misses,some good times! Its great to see you a bit more relaxed,for a while there you were pretty hard on your self. We all have times like that I am sure you know that. Anyways,great to see you two clowning around, having fun.

@farmcentralohio 5 лет назад

any sma video is good, they're even better when mrs.o is around. this one is in the top 5 for most entertaining and i learned about leak down testing too

@annettesurfer 4 месяца назад

My cheap HF tester works differently where I adjust the air pressure to the set point on the right gauge while disconnected and then attach it to the TDC cylinder to read the left gauge. My TDC finder is a wooden dowel while hand turning the crank bolt, but a poor result (compression leak) is often corrected by turning the crank again for the next TDC. In the old days I'd just remove the valve cover(s) to make sure the valves were closed. I always start with a compression test, removing the fuel injection fuse while running, to ensure fuel won't wash down the cylinders and the engine is warm. For the leak-down test, I remove the radiator cap, the oil filler cap, the air intake tube, and open the throttle. Usually I listen for air escaping from all those openings as well as the tailpipe but recently I bought a 6 channel electronic stethoscope where I could place sensors in all those spots and just click through the channels while listening. Sure it was a $72 splurge but what the heck.

@admiralfloofz658 7 лет назад

So many mechanics who think pistonrings are 100% sealing. Do a leakdowntest on a fresh engine and youll see the same results, except for air in the coolant ofcourse.

@butchcassidy5398 7 лет назад

here's a very good easy tip Eric O use a old school fuel pressure vacuum gauge to test for tdc the guage will go vacuum when down stroke starts an will go psi when up stroke starts on tdc

@Anonymous-it5jw 5 лет назад

This Civic is a potential money (and labor) pit. Before cranking up the parts cannon, re-torque the head to specs and redo the leak test. I got an extra southern summer out of a well-worn BMW 4 cylinder by doing that about 20 years ago (along with Stop-Leak for good measure). Also, on the leak tests it is easier to check air flow out of the larger openings with the palm of your hand over it rather than your finger down in it. Great video! Mrs. O should get her union card and go pro.

@davidscharringhausen8949 7 лет назад

You are probably not exactly on top dead center,giving you air out the intake. Put a long thin screw driver into the spark plug hole, turn engine slowly by hand do not use starter, You get a more exact position without using a helper. Turn engine in normal rotation and then back and forth a little, until screw driver is exactly at it's highest position. Now test cylinder leakage, after zeroing your gauge. Have fun.

@OneSierra 7 лет назад

I agree. A screw driver works well, I use a long skinny wooden dowel with lines drawn on it. I keep some small balloons in the leakdown case and have also used those. But great video, thanks for sharing it.

@-BuddyGuy 6 лет назад

The valves will be closed either side of the TDC anyway so who cares. Only need exact TDC if you're working on cams or timing which he's not

@andrewwmacfadyen6958 7 лет назад

Best to work in the firing order after you identify #1 compression. On 4 cylinder I use 4 large wooden knitting needles down the the plug holes. when all the tops of all 4 needles are a equal height you know all the pistons are at 1/2 stroke.

@johnf3381 7 лет назад

That's how I do it. Put tester in, hook air up and open full and crank engine over. Unless there is no compression at all you'll know when you're there.

@AJFresh69 7 лет назад

+andrew w macfadyen what's the point of being at 1/2 stroke? Don't you need to have the piston all the way up @TDC to get a pressure reading?

So the air heard escaping out of the intake manifold was actually air that was escaping from the cylinder under test into an adjacent cylinder that had its intake valve open. Mr O I think that Mrs O is a keeper. A bit more air there and you could have flicked her up into the rafters :-)
