‧The leakage tester serves for the diagnostics of engine defects, e.g. of the inlet/exhaust valves, the pistons/piston rings and the cylinder head/cylinder head gaskets The leakage tester detects and localizes engine defects quickly.
‧Differences between the individual cylinder up to two graduation lines (= 4% pressure loss) are acceptable.
‧The pressure which have run less than 5000 kilometers may be higher, because the cylinder, the piston and the piston rings have not yet reached their full smoothness.
‧Risk of burning on warmed-up engines - never touch hot parts.
‧Necessary testing pressure: 6 to 12 bar
