case leak down issue not 1lb per min. at 1st

[mybanshees2fast4u]

ok i didnt follow the directions exactly on the posts for making a doing a leak test but i wanna make i should still okay. It didnt leak down exactly 1 lbs per minute. I pumped it six and the first or 1.5 lbs leaked down a little a little quicker than that, how much it didn is hard to say, but by the end of the of the six minutes i had about to 2, 2.25 lbs is in the motor. I sprayed the gasket areas with soapy water and the rubber freeze plugs in the intake showed a little leak. Where i screwed the fitting in for the pump leaked a little and so did the the screw that tightens the plug up also leaked a little. I didnt have the stator cover removed or the clutch cover, but i just rebuilt so the whole motor with new seals so i am assuming those are okay. I just wanted to make at if i still had pressure in the motor after the 6 minutes that i would be ok. Please lemme know i am about to start it up for the first time with the fresh motor and dont wanna repeat the damage that intial blew the motor up.

You need to make sure that your test equipment is not leaking.with that much of a loss you will not be able to accuratly test your seals and gaskets.When I did mine I lost 1/2 pound in six min witch is ok.My 2 cents.

Did you follow torque specs when you did the rebuild. It sounds like you are leaking everywhere, and that just doesn't sound right. I know things have to settle out and tighten up after your initial run, but that just sounds a little excessive to me. You might want to recheck things.............

Anything more than 1 lb in 6 minutes is unacceptable to me. You need to fix all the leaks, then I'd re-test again. Alot of times after you find one leak and fix it, retest and you'll find a new one some where else.
