2018 Leak Down Test

Wikipedia states: A leak-down tester is a measuring instrument used to determine the condition of internal combustion engines by introducing compressed air into the cylinder and measuring the rate at which it leaks out... Leakages over 20% generally indicate internal repairs are required. Racing engines would be in the 1-10% range for top performance.

The leak down test was performed on VIN CF12681 June of 2018 after sitting for 6 months without starting the engine.

Cylinder 1 test - leak down is zero

picture

Cylinder 2 test - leak down is zero

picture

Cylinder 3 test - leak down is zero

picture

Cylinder 4 test - leak down is zero

picture

Cylinder 5 test - leak down is zero
