I thought that if piston no.1 was at TDC, both valves on that cylinder would be tight shut as the compression stroke ends and the power stroke begins? As piston no.1 reaches TDC, the valves on cylinder no. 2 would be rocking between the exhaust valve closing and the inlet valve opening would...

You've confused me a little there, could you explain it a little differently? What do you think of the readings I got? Do they seem good or poor? Thanks, -Tom

Hello, I carried out a leak test on my 200tdi on Saturday and I would like your opinions on the results please. I carried out four tests per cylinder and then took the average in each case. The piston was positioned at TDC on the relevant cylinder at the time of the test. In some cases, the...

Alright thanks. I'll leak test it (it's the only other bit of equipment that I have access to which I know is reliable) and then I'll get back to you with the results. -Tom

Thank you. I will try a wet test tomorrow night to see if it makes any difference. Obviously, if my valves are goosed it won't hold pressure in the cylinder but I am fairly certain that the gauge should maintain its reading rather than drop back down to zero? Do they work off reading pressure...

Good old uncle Charles, always messin' :D
