Hey guys, ok looking for a leak down tester. I've been to a bunch of different stores burned at least 50 buck in diesel. Can't seem to put a tester together. It's really been pissing me off. So can I get details on how to order one and about how long it takes to get to San Antonio Texas if ordered ASAP. Thanks guys
 
Fasho. Hey man how do you pressurize your tester?

you put a tire pump to it, pretty simple

the bicycle pump works best, as no more than 7 lbs pressure should be applied or risk blowing your crank seals out, it should hold that 7 lbs for at least 5-10 minutes, some suggest it lose no more than 1 lb per minute ? < i've run then with a slow leakdown with zero ill results, but holding the 7 lbs. is best.
a compressor can be used if left off and leaked down to under 10-15 lbs to apply the pressure to the tester.
i've try'd just bumping them with the compressor while testing each...a quick bump resulted in 30+ lbs. being inserted.
use a bicycle pump for best/safe results

using leakdown tester.........

Cool man, figured the bike pump. I appreciate it. As soon as I figure out how to get you the green. I'll send it. Also should I be ready for a leak and order a gasket kit? Might be a fund ass ? But can u use some gasket maker? Like for cars? Thought I should ask before I do and mess something up.
 
@ Sruiz67

in the email, you asked how to pay,
if you don't have a paypal account i'll accept us postal money orders too
try private messaging me this time to let me know and i'll reply with my shipping info, another email will work too if you can't figure out the PM's on here ?
 
So I did a bunch of shenanigans. I think I sent the cash. Hope so. Anywho thanks in advance. I know this thing is well worth it and I should have done this 2 weeks ago.ive wasted so much time farting around with trying to build one. All who see this please take my advice, if you need one just pay the 30 bucks. I've wasted a ton of my time and diesel driving to like 6 stores in the area.
 
got the $ and text with shipping info.
tracking number comin at ya in a few after i pay for shipping online

thanx
