leak-down test
I'm trying to figure out a problem with the engine. I was wondering if someone had and could loan me the leak-down tester for a few days. I already bought the compression tester, but the leak-down tester is harder to source out fast. I'm in Oshawa/Toronto area.
Big thanks

Lost power, and idles very badly around 500 rpm. I disconnected the injectors one by one (cylinder #3 and #4 showed very little change), and I believe the head gasket is blown. I'll do the compression test on Saturday. I want to be reasonably sure before I open it up.
I'll post the results on Saturday in 924/931/944/968/etc. forum, and if you feel like sharing your comments, that would be great. I've already posted a few related topics:
"the engine died..."
"Leak down test"
"Compression test - tutorial needed"
