1984 Camaro Z28 Leakdown Test - Pressure Points
|
With the leakdown tester ready and waiting, we ran the engine until it was good and warm. Then we removed our Z28's air cleaner, oil filler cap, dipstick, radiator cap, and all eight spark plugs. The last two are tough when working with a hot engine, but unlike a compression test, it's critical that the engine be warm for a leakdown test to be accurate. We hand-tightened the adapter hose into the cylinder to be tested, which is quite a feat on a third-gen Camaro with headers-this is one of the few cylinders we could actually see to photograph.
