Cylinder Leakage Tester 2 Gauge,35PSI - Kastar

The Kastar KHCLT-4 Cylinder Leakage Tester is a professional-grade diagnostic tool engineered to accurately assess the internal condition of automotive and industrial engines. By precisely measuring an engine cylinder's ability to hold compressed air, this two-gauge tester helps technicians and mechanics quickly identify and locate sources of compression loss that a standard compression test might miss. It provides crucial insights into engine health, enabling targeted repairs and preventing more extensive damage.

Key Features

• Dual Gauge Precision: Features two easy-to-read gauges, allowing for simultaneous monitoring of input air pressure (set at 35 PSI) and the percentage of cylinder leakage (0-100%) for accurate, consistent results.
• Pinpoint Leakage Source: Effectively diagnoses issues such as worn piston rings, damaged valves, cracked cylinder walls, and blown head gaskets by identifying where air is escaping the cylinder.
• Optimized Operating Pressure: Designed to operate at a regulated 35 PSI, ensuring accurate and repeatable testing across various engine types.
• Comprehensive Kit: Includes a durable 26-inch hose assembly with an industrial interchange quick coupler, along with M14 short and long thread solid adapters, providing versatility for different spark plug hole configurations.
• Durable Construction: Built with a round, anodized body and permanent laser etching for a sleek appearance and enhanced durability, ensuring longevity in a professional shop environment.

Applications

This Cylinder Leakage Tester is an indispensable tool for professional technicians and mechanics in automotive repair shops, collision centers, and industrial service stations. It is ideal for diagnosing poor engine performance, misfires, and starting issues by precisely identifying the root cause of compression loss. The tool can be used on both gasoline and diesel engines to evaluate the sealing integrity of piston rings, intake and exhaust valves, and cylinder head gaskets. By listening for air escaping through the intake manifold, exhaust pipe, or oil filler cap, professionals can accurately pinpoint the exact location of the leak without extensive engine disassembly.
