compression test

[nakedwaterskier]

Those allen screws for the front master cylinder that you handed out at tech day a couple of yrs ago came in handy. I was bleeding my front brake but it was real hard to get those old stock phillips screws off. Glad I had the ones you handed out to atendees as replacements. Jeffrey

You need to do a "Leak Down" test. basically a leak down tester allows you to inject compressed air and time the length of time it takes to leak out. I got one off of E-bay for $35. HtH, Denis

And for those of us who were not there, cough, how about sharing the size of said allen screw. Are they recessed? or are they a capscrew, etc? revmaaatin.
