Need to borrow/rent block pressure test tool
Anyone have one I can borrow/rent? Have a head gasket job coming up and want to make sure I don't have block issues before I invest the time in the head gasket job. I am willing to provide a deposit as well.
Please contact me via pm or email if you are willing to help out a brutha...

I bought the kit and it came with a welded shut water pump. First time I tried to use it the water pump would not seal. It had warped terribly due to welding and would not sit flush on the block. I called the maker/supplier and they basically told me tough luck, use extra gaskets(which was impossible due to the amount of warping), so I had a machine shop plane it.
I’m trying to locate it now as I need to pressure test a block.
One thing that does not give me confidence is that it is impossible to simulate a block at running temp to test it. Normally small cracks only present themselves when the engine is at running temp.
