Leak down Tester

[45 lt80]

Can someone send me a pic of their leak down tester the next time you are using it.To help me me understand if your put a air gage on it to see if it leak down and how much air pressure you have put in the motor. One more stupid question do have the top end install when you test.

here is a pic of my tester. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid163/pb1776db9f909e5b6b5c12a39bd17dfb7/f4a2760d.jpg


with the topend installed, the reed cage/carb boot in place and the spark plug torqued in. i use a square of bicycle tube under the exhaust flang to seal it off. with the tester clamped i pump it up to 6-10 psi and then spray the engine down with a mix of soap and warter.
