Don Deitke DVWImports@AOL.COM I've been on the list for five years, possibly longer. I'm pleased to see Don the mystery man break out into the public eye with a good supply of Vanagon parts to make him memorable.

Wow, that's more than one engine rebuild per week for forty years. I find that hard to believe.....

You won't find it if you look for "air test" but if you search for "leak down test" you will find that its done all the time. Quite a common method for checking out an engine before deciding to tear it apart.

Its not like its some big secret or anything.
