Hmm, I don't have a compressor or anything like that. Where/how would you hook it up?

Honestly, I think I'm just going to swap it out. It leaks so much oil, I'm embarrassed to park pretty much anywhere. I have have a 1915 longblock with zero miles on its rebuild that I've been wanting to put in and this is a great time to do it.

a direct swap like that will not take long at all!

I do want to clean everything up and possibly repaint some tin before I reinstall it though, so that might need to happen over a couple days. We will see I guess. I'm not working at all next week so I have the time.

Just so you will know how to do it, most compression testers have a quick disconnect that works with automotive style air hoses. And you would need an air compressor.

It had been running ok but not great. But now it is running like absolute dogie do do. I ordered the POR-15 gas tank cleaner/sealer kit and it should be here soon.

However, that may take back burner as I just discovered today while I had my pedal assy out to lube my creaking clutch pedal shaft, that my master cylinder has been emptying its contents into the frame head and tunnel... Looks like I will be replacing the MC first. What's the best way to get fluid out of there?
