fjh Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Two more pics of the tool on the bench!Its a bit of a hastle to hook up but it will check every nook and crevice for leaks even tests the boost bypass valve on the asset engine.To check for blow by issues you need to remove the turbo drain tube .also on the asset engine you must remove and plug off the turbo bypass valve if your not checking it!

fjh Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Strange how the most "un-hi tech" tool does the best job!Ya guess its pretty low tech 2 1/4 slabs with mud flap glued to it . and 2 hi tech peices of ready rod.Nessitiy is the mother of invention.
