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
