Then we need to carve away some very thick sheet metal to make our cover plates for the exhaust and intake. Have not got to a schrader valve yet! That could be coupled to a hand pump? I am not feeling 10 dollars here. Unless of course a guy has scrap materials lying around. Got any 10 dollar links it would help the lets keep us all safe ploy/cause. I am hip with that! Really I am..
I realize the over all ploy here to try to say what is dangerous and what not!
Mark Sumpter's way to check for air leaks is the most accurate way to check for air leaks bar none with out a doubt. So I ask you this em: Jim Charlie Gene? I know its Jim this time. Ch should be here shortly with his cap locks on. Snork. Are you going to make a simple leak check kit in your machine shop now and sell it to us through a vinder perhaps? That is a great Idea!
It is a really cool thing a guy could very easily make in a machine shop v it from nominal scraps out of another bigger job! If I were you I would totally do it!!
sorry your not feelin $10....but im soo happy your "HIP"....i am indeed Charlie...not Jim nor am i Gene....
Marks rig is without a doubt "Top Flight"....but not everyone has a radiator pressure test kit...they are a lil exspensive......and not everyone has a compressor.....
since you like to "goggle"...the spark plug fitting by KD tools is available for $5.75....i did not say you needed a whip hose
as for the shut off valve one listing for 1/4 " was for $5 and change as well but im sure it could be found for less....
the shrade valve could be used from a truck tire innner tube stem as they are steel (and a dumpster find at the local tire repair shop) it could be used in a compression fitting as could a common rubber valve stem.....sorry you couldn't figure that out........shame on me!
as too thick plates?....my suggestion was the use of hoses, clamps, and short bolts to seal the hose ends...with clamps as well.....
as far as pressure to the case....you'd only need very little to be above ambient...which is something like 28.5 inches mercury or water on a manometer.....you knew that right?
and the other thing is this could very well be done while the engine was mounted within the frame...and not "benched"
so other then that.....AND MY USE OF THE "CAP'S KEY"...(so horrible on my part).....im aware that there are 2 people whom i will not further engage in conversation on this site..........
