Leakdown test/ Compression test.

[goldollar]

Sup everyone, i got a friend whos got a sr, but he changed his mind about doin the swap, so i was thinking about buyin it from him. The problem is that, I can be kinda paranoid about things and this is one of those things that got me feeling like this is sketch. I searched and found out what a leakdown test is and how to do it, but is there anything that you guys could suggest. Maybe something that i should look out for, or do. I trust my freind and everything but i dont wanna have to deal with a ****ty motor cause i can get it at a deal. Any information is greatly appreciated.

[SWIFT_DRIFT]

does it matter what kind of SR it is to do a leakdown test? no.

You cant really do a compression test without the engine running.

Well I thought he might have been questioning more than the leakdown test, like whether he should buy it at all regardless of leakdown test. Then I saw his #of posts and remembered seeing his name around here. Sorry...
