checking for air leaks using compressor?
i know a few guys on here do this using a bung connected to a compressor where the air filter goes, question is do you guys remove the cams? if not how does the air not go straight out the cylinders?
just made a bung/adapter thingy in work today so wouldnt mind giving this a go.

Les......You must have a pressure regulator connected to your bung......stick the bung in,connect up the airline and adjust the pressure regulator until the gauge reads the pressure you want to test at (I use up to 3 Bar max)
