It's been a long time since I used one though, so I don't know if that's still considered the right tool for the job or if there's a better way to do it now. If that is the right tool then what pressure should I pump it to and how long should I let it hold at that pressure? |
I did a cylinder pressure test on the block to make sure that the head gaskets are not leaking. Unfortunately Subaru does not have a great history with head gaskets and I just had to change them in my Legacy. But the pressure test will tell you if you blew the head gasket or warped a head as it will leak.
