Frustrated/Rant

[tdod101]

Someone wanna build me a leak down tester? Canada big box stores suck so much dick! Can't find half the shit I need to even build the simplest things. I went to Home Depot, Lowes, Rona, Home Hardware, Nothing!!! Can't take driving around anymore looking for materials, let alone a psi gauge, smallest one I could was 15 psi. This country sucks sometimes. Anyways, who wants to build me one?

Thanks.

And yes, I looked at the forum leak down tester, Can't find any of it.

Fuck Canada.

That guy's name is Kevin Galindo.  He's pretty active on the FB pages.  He has quite a few happy customers with his leakdown testers.

 

I've sold parts to Kevin before and have known him for quite a while.

Does not ship to Canada.

If you need I'll buy it and ship it to you. Or if you know someone just over the border it'll save you shipping.

drill holes in each pvc plug, seal the guage in one with jb weld, put a valve stem in the other.

 

Super cheap, less parts

I just use a mity vac hand pump and some rubber plugs. My mity vac has a pressure / vacuum gauge on it. That way you can pressure test, and vacuum test, let alone all the other handy stuff you can do with a mity vac

 

I have the MV8500 kit.

I also used 1-3/8 to 1-1/2 rubber expansion plugs. They have a washer on each side and a bolt and nut. That way you tighten them down they expand to seal up the exhaust ports. Then I used regular rubber plugs for the intake. Install a 1/4" brass splicing barb in one rubber intake plug and your good to go.

That's dumb, you should not buy from him then. Make one, it's easy to do and will cost you about 20$

I'm sure he has some sort of consideration to take.  He knows that there will be customers lost due to it.
