DUAL GAUGE LEAKDOWN TESTER

The Racetoolz dual gauge leakdown tester is a precision tool for measuring the amount of cylinder leakage in an engine. It will work on any internal combustion automotive or motorcycle engine with threaded spark plugs.The tester requires an external air supply of at least 100 psi.

Simple to use. The adaptor hose screws into the spark plug hole and air supply is connected to the tool. The regulator is adjusted so the left gauge reads 100 psi. Any leakage is shown on the right gauge. If the right gauge reads 90 psi, that cylinder has 10% leakdown. In most cases, the tester can pinpoint the leakage help diagnosis damage before the motor is disassembled. For instance, if leakdown shows on the gauge, listening at the exhaust outlet may produce the sound of escaping air. This would indicate leaking exhaust valve/s. In the air intake, intake valves. Oil fill, leaking rings, etc. - $112.00 ea. (Instructions for using the APE Dual Gauge Leakdown tester

HEAD SAVER KIT

The Racetoolz head saver kit is designed to repair damaged valve guide holes in Kawasaki KZ650 through GPZ1100 2 valve cylinder heads. Damage can occur when old guides are driven out with carbon on them, valves run into each other, breaking and moving the guide, cracking the guide boss which requires welding. Whatever the case, the head saver kit will ream a new oversize hole on center of the tappet bore. Then install one of the special guides that come in the kit, and it is fixed. Touch up the seat and it is back in service. The reamer opens the hole .025" which should be more than enough to clean up the most severely damaged guide hole. Quit scraping these heads because of valve guide hole damage. Every shop that works on KZ cylinder heads should have this kit.

Each kit includes one head-saver bushing, one reamer, set screw (to easily lift the bushing from the tappet bore) and two +.027 oversize bronze valve guides.

Head Saver Kit - #HS100K $75.00
Replacement oversize valve guides - #99101-25 - $12.83 ea.


VALVE HEIGHT GAUGES

The valve height gauge is the ideal tool for tipping valves. Made from billet aluminum, each gauge is made to measure .100" from the tip of the valve to the top of the gauge when the valve stem length is in the middle of the shim range. - $24.50 ea.
