Will a .060 ( 60 thousands of an inch) hole work? I don't have a drill and I had to take that epoxy part to a welding shop and that was the smallest bit they had
Also the fitting purchased doesnt seem to fit my compression hose as there is a circular thing in the quick connect fitting that stops this from. Attaching to the hose
New Part numbers, since some have been discontinued: Regulator: #68223 Epoxy: #92665 1/4" Male - Male coupling: #63579 1/4" Female - Female coupling: #63581 1/4" NPT T-Connector: #63567 1/4" NPT Pressure Gauge: #64104 The two couplers are now in a kit: #68241 or #64681 However, this kit will now require two Male - Male 1/4" couplings since the connector comes with a female end instead of a male end. Total (as of October 2019): $29.22
Hello sirs,if incoming air pressure is 100psi & the reading in the cylinder is 20psi does that equates to 20% leakage which is within acceptable range?ty.
The fitting that has the epoxy for the restrictor, how long is that fitting? U said fill it about half way with epoxy. When I was doing some reading the restrictor needs to be 1mm by 6.7mm.
@MagnumOpusCustoms Good Evening! Can you please make a video of how to make a "Compression Tester" with all parts and everything just like this video please?
Good Morning my beautiful family in these comments! Listen i went this morning to buy the parts shown in this video but i didnt see any of the parts on shelf, i would greatly appreciate help with this matter, can anyone please help me with all the part numbers for everything i need to buy for this build?
I know this is a little old, but for anyone new coming along: Unfortunately, they're both off by the same margin. 1/32" = 0.79 mm (0.2mm smaller) 3/64" = 1.19 mm (0.2mm larger) IF you can get a 1mm drillbit, it'd be preferred, but otherwise, the 3/64" is probably the best bet. Otherwise a 102 gauge drillbit is the closest overall.
you're right, they do sell a leak down tester for 30/40$ only problem is it's extremely inaccurate. many people have reported issues with the gauges including the colored one that supposedly should give you a leakage reading in % . The one I made has 2 gauges that are very easy to read. When you set the first gauge at 100psi every psi of difference in the second gauge corresponds to 1% leakage. Furthermore you can always make sure that the tester is accurate by capping the end of the tester, set the compressor at 100psi and compare all 3 gauges (1on the compressor and 2 on the tester) readings, they should all be showing 100psi before performing the leak down test. if one for example reads 90psi you have a bad gauge (or a leak in the fittings )and should not perform any test with it. This is the only way to make sure that your equipment isn't faulty before taking an engine head apart.
