02Bansheeee Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 Do the side covers have to be off in order to leak check? Wouldn't I know I had a leak in the bottom end if I sprayed hot soapy water around the top end, and it didn't bubble? This is my first build so I'm new to this. Quote
hoppedupandcutdown Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 You tell if you have a leak if the gauge drops. The soapy water is to find it. Quote
02Bansheeee Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Posted January 20, 2014 I did the test and in 6 minutes it leaked half a psi. But at first the boost bottle was leaking bad, put hose clamps around it and it solved it. Quote
Starwriter Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 But at first the boost bottle was leaking bad There you go. Now aren't you glad you did a leakdown test before you burned down the motor? Now get rid of the boost bottle before you crack the intakes and burn down the motor. Quote
