Default Re: Leakdown Testing

As stated previously, start with number 1 cyl. put pointer dead on TDC of balancer, if engine turns over, you may have an issue with the pointer not being set correctly. Typically an engine will not turn if the piston is on TDC. Of course you have the option of removing the valve train also.I would caution against using a bar and socket to try and hold it unless you have someone who wouldn't mind getting their knuckles busted.
