I don't think it consumes oil. It just scared me a bit when i saw the warning signs some have posted here that indicated "stay away." Thanks though, I feel a bit better (would be nice though if the cap didn't bounce, and it shut off after 20-30 seconds after plugging the hose to the air filter!).
How much would it cost to do a Cylinder Leakage Test? I was considering getting a used compression test kit, but it sounds like there's an additional step here I need to consider. Is this something I can do myself (the cylinder leakage test)? What additional tools would I need other than the compression test kit?
Thanks,
Pete.
