Vacuum Testing Cylinder Heads

I talked in our write ups about vacuum testing the cylinder heads for leakage. This is how we found that the Gen3 Edelbrocks were pretty poor and one didn't seal well at all. This is a short video of Ron testing one of the Batten head ports. You can see the gauge goes up quick and down much slower. These heads had no spring in them, so they will improve once the springs are on. Just sharing...
