True. I only work on my own.

When it's getting late and I'm tired and I start a beer I just fade, and I go to bed. Things that were real difficult last night are easy in the morning.

Industrial gloves are also good. Disposable gloves don't hold up to chemical use.

A pressure test is a way to check a motor for air leaks. It checks all gaskets head gasket, base gasket, intake manifold gaskets, crank seals, case halfs ect. probably the most under rated tool on this forum that would probably eliminate alot of the tuning problems people are having. This tool can be made all kinds of different ways.

You may not think that you need one but trust me once you start using one and you start finding all kinds of leaks you never thought were there you wont want to be with out one.

Here is one example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdq7NRcUIp8

It is called a case or crankcase pressure and vacuum tester.

Yes indeed, crankcase pressure...the video helped understand this testing procedure clearly...thanx Red EFT...
I've used the coolant system tester many times for checking autos. ....

compression test is good tool!
dont need common honda bolt and nuts

dont need leak down test!

all the block inspection. I go by vision

see there got leaking oil on gasket ( head and base) or airleak ( vaccum leak ) crank seals leaks

for the transmission seal. look at clutch shaft seal, tranny gasket and main axle seal when remove wheel off.

Updated first post

This list is for TOOLS only

Disposable/consumable things like tape, WD40,fuses and gloves are a good idea, but did not make my list.

I love my slide hammer, they can perform magic, although only used it once on a scooter

[eliteguy50]

Impact driver and hammer. Long punch or rod (tap loose the belt cover from exhaust side).
