Shade Tree Compression Test
I had someone (used car salesman) recently tell me that it was possible to get an idea of how strong (compression) an engine was by covering the breather hole on the top of the camshaft cover & timing how long it took for the engine to shut down. 8-15sec.= good. 15-20+ sec.= not so good.
Truth or Tale? |
