It's a test in which the cyl is pressurized with shop air and you can listen for where the leakage is occuring. It's hard to do a g; /html/triumphs/1996-05/msg00666.html (8,831 bytes)
9. TR6 Compression Test Results (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 23 May 1996 11:21:41 -0500 (EST); The numbers aren't that bad, but I have two suggestions.
