Anyone near Ottawa have a leakdown tester?
I'm burning oil and need to check rings and guides. The usual suspects (Canadian Tire and Princess Auto) don't seem to sell leakdown testers anymore so I'm a bit stuck. I have a compression tester and everything looks good from that aspect but the oil is getting in somewhere!

Acklands, Benson and Parts Source don't carry them either. One of them asked me "is leakdown the brand?"

Hi Jason,
If I had one you'd be welcome to it. But you could make your own.



Cheers, Rod

Hey Rod, I had thought of that but then I'd burn the one night of the month I'm allowed to work in the garage

One night a month!?!?!?
Must've been quite a long build.

I thought I had it bad, thanks for cheering me up.

Good thing I "work" from home...

I made great progress until I got the car on the road and started driving it / finding bugs. Not to mention the effects of procreation on recreation.
