compression test

right i finally released the airlock out of my coolant and heater matrix,fitted a new thermostat,a new water pump and got my cousin to test the gases in the header tank .......but there is still some serious gurgling,bubbling and pressure that spits a few litres out if you release the cap on the header tank.we`re struggling lads, should i get the head pressure tested? also i`ve read on here about checking your rad, mine looks pretty sweet but could it be blocked or am i barking up the wrong tree? any help is greatfully recieved chaps:doh:

also does anybody know a place in manchester stockport area where i could get the(my) head tested?

would of thought you need to ask your doctor that !!!

spot the deliberate

most garages can do a compression test

cool man

yu dont want a compression test - yu want a leak-down test.

really? thanks 4 info.......what will that do?

this is similar to a compression test in revers - it does a similar test to a compression test but removes variables such as battery condition, cranking speed and compression ratio out of the equation. It is a more reliable test.

good man !!!! i`m gonna get this done at weekend
