was pressurizing my in and out to check for leaks and all i could hear was that when getting to about 1bar after a couple of seconds when doing in it started gurgling/hiss not alot but did.
I have read this at many places, and is that right this is then normal.
If your pressurizing the motor as well are you making sure that all intake valves are closed during the pressure test. Cuz usually at least one intake valve will be somewhat open anywhere on the cranks location. So all your getting is pressure past the rings which is normal Its never going to seal completely.
You have to position the piston of the cylinder you are intending to measure at the TDC - top dead center. Then repeat that on the NeXT cylinder, and so on. Done this way, ideally no valves will be open when testing.
Using a stetoscope to listen to the motor helps a lot when trying to figure out where the air is leaking out. Doing a leak Down you are supposed to pressurize the cylinders at 100 lbs. Then measure the pressure drop after a given time interval.
