Whats the best leak down kit?

[dansikes116]

Hello I was wondering what kit is good and affordable to test the vacuum and pressure of a crank case? I was looking on Ebay and did not find much. Any advice would be appreciated.

I got one of these Silverline Elite Hand Vacuum / Pressure Pump MITMV8500 | eBay

It produces pressure and vacuum with the flip of a switch, but I don't like the gauge much- it does the job ok. It also comes with extras, rubber plugs etc.- they come in handy.

Mityvac 8500. I think it's one of the best, just not the most affordable. Same as the one posted above, but this one is about $10 cheaper.
I use mine quite often, works great.
