So, I've heard leakdown testers are easy to make.  I am in need of one, and feel that I'd rather have one made by someone that knows how rather than doing it myself.  I am also a little short on time and want to spend it on the bike as opposed to making tools.

I already have a compressor, it is a very small one, and couldn't be used to run an impact drill but I believe it will be sufficient for a leakdown test (I need to get a better one I can, I've been meaning to do that anyways).

Buying these tools new costs $140 or more (at least ones that I can get shipped to Canada or pick up locally).
I imagine someone here could make me one and ship it to me for MUCH less than that.

Any takers?
