Hello All, I'm going to need to do a leakdown test on my 31K - I'm suspecting a failed crank seal but want to confirm before I split the motor..
Searching on here found me a guy call Dan (gasketguru.co.uk) who made and sold kits a couple of years back. I've contacted him via his website so I'll see if he still sells them and report back.
Google showed one up in the USA (hvcycle.net) - €112 / £90 delivered, a bit pricey for me, I've mailed them to see if they will do me a better deal on shipping.
In the meantime, is there any other source of these kits or would anyone be willing to loan me a kit or even help me test the engine - I'm in Hampshire.
Thanks all

Make your own, its not that hard. Visit the local hardware store for plumbing ends that fit in the intakes and make plates for the exhaust with a bit of rubber or an o ring etc.
Have a search, weve talked about it before.

Stupid question - can do you reliably do a leak down test on a YPVS? I'm thinking if you block off the exhaust port surely you will lose pressure around the power valve seals?

They can leak but so can any seal... but usually while that happens the inlets bubble up and show you they leak too, thats much more important.

Hi, I have looked all over for a leak down test kit but all seem to be sold out. Anyone selling a used kit? Smoke
