UVIEW Combustion Gas Leak Tester
« on: April 08, 2014, 10:21:37 am »
Has anyone used this tester to see if there are any leaks into the coolant system?

It's suppose to detect hydrocarbons, so I guess it will detect oil or combustion gasses entering the coolant from a warped head or bad gasket.

Seems like a cheap check before tearing into the engine.

Here's the link to Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/UVIEW-560000-Combustion-Leak-Tester/dp/B000NPDL76/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Also, plenty of videos on Youtube.
