Comp or leak down test?

Chrisc · 19-03-2014, 11:35 PM

Having a slight pinging noise on load at 2-3k. So want to get it checked asap. Not happy, as i heard it on the test drive, but thought nothing of it really.

Got a compression tester, but leak down tests seem to be better. So trying to see if i can borrow one! But wondered if usually HG signs will show in hopefully early stages. Unless it could be anything else? Plugs, coil packs all new.
