Default leakdown test???

I got this message from a good friend that drove my car after we did some work to it, i cant get ahold of him and i have no clue that he is talking about

lookit this message I got after posting that I drove ur car...

Sirwills1 (10:30:31 PM): saw your post about driving Mmart's car
Sirwills1 (10:30:46 PM): tell your friend to have a leakdown test performed on the car ASAP!
Sirwills1 (10:31:24 PM): i have it on good authority that his car failed a leakdown test, and he didnt want to have it fixed

that guy knows his **** to a tee.

we will get this done by next weekend, I prob have acces to the required tools...

I hate to be he bearer of possible bad news but its better that you know and we check it outright away.

at the worst itll be a while before it gets noticeably bad, then you have an excuse to build the engine (or get a built earlier long block with the bigger ports) and run more boost for close to 400 hp.

Who knows. I'd get a compression test and a leakdown test done asap.

a compression test will be as good and quicker, leak down test is for oil burners and bad starters but similar to a compression test
