Leak Down Test - Help.

After talking with a the owners of Razor's Edge Performance and the guy that is supposed to help install my Meth Inj Kit, it turns out that all are in agreement that I need a leak down test before putting in the kit, since I have some blowby and the dipstick occasionally pops out.

They charge 2.2 hrs at $75/hr. (there goes my MM CHrome C/C plates)

Are there any websites or tech articles that anyone knows of that I can be linked to to read up on this subject?

I dont want to go in there cold-turkey not know what they are doing.


Thanks
RC

Thanks...but the guy I referred to in the first post has access to one. He knows how to do it, but says this is a crucial enough test that someone with a lot of experience should be doing it...You dont want to miscalculate a problem with this area.


MIKE: Mine pops out just enough to let some oil spray out...it's not that much. Bob (above post) says that since Ive done so much to the car, I should just get this done to know for sure if Im ok to keep modding.

JR: Im not paying for the Meth kit to be INSTALLED, Bob did his, and he is willing to help me with mine...Im not going to refuse, although I will try to do most of it on my own, with just some moral support from him.

Zack: Thanks to you for your descriptive reply.

How far does your dipstick pop out? Mine will pop up a tad after a beating drive but it doesn't come up that much.

Oh...BTW...I may be calling Rick sooner than I thought for an engine if something looks bad with the leak down.

I may just go with a well built 302 to save some money, slap some nice heads and the Vortech back on it, add the Meth kit, and be "satisfied" with the 450+ RWHP that the car would make.
