    Hi,

    I'm going to try and rent a compression tester tomorrow and do a
    compression test and a cylinder leak down test. Will I need more than
    just a compression tester to do a leak down check and is it ok to
    perform both of these tests with the exhaust manifold removed and having
    the exhaust ports exposed. Also, right now I have neither engine oil
    or coolant in the radiator as I have removed the ex man and turbo. Any
    thoughts on this? Will a factory service manual provide the info
    needed to do these tests? The car is a mitsubishi eclipse 2.0L turbo
    and as I mentioned in the past you volvo guys have been very helpful
    which I really appreciate.

    Thanks in advance, Greg
