Ahhhh, you just inadvertently given me an opportunity to raise a query I've been harbouring for some time.

Why is the leak down test not used more widely.? Briggs advocate it and sell a tester. I can't speak for other brands.

People seem to go for the huff and puff test. All this gives is an indication of bad ( real bad) compression. A leak down gives very valuable diagnostic information on where and how much.

I'd like to hear people's views on this one.....

....and apologies to jack if this is considered a change of topic and therefore in the wrong place.
