leak down test

[Thewhite]

I done a leak down test on my new RZ350 set-up and I got the following:

 

start with 6 PSI

end up with 5 psi at 6 minutes

end up with 4 psi at 12 minutes

 

From what I heard, the test was to hold 6 psi for 6 minutes. Is my results are acceptable ?

I would not sweat that a bit. You are not always going to seal at the shaft seals with this type of test. Run it

I'd run that and not even think twice about it...more than 1PSI per minute is cause for alarm.

And usually when you have a bad leak (crank seals or intakes) it'll spit out as fast as you can pump air in there.
