Pressure testing S70

posted by  someone claiming to be mike on  Sun Jul 28 02:13 CST 2002 [RELATED]


Guys, thanks for the responses!

Pressure test showed no loss of pressure.

"Block test" (they called it a head gasket test) resulted in "inconclusive". When I asked what they meant, the tech said "it turned a sorta blue/yellow, but not yellow". They are assuming that there's no head gasket leak because of this, but I'm not convinced. Where can I learn more about this test - maybe whoever makes the kit that dealers get it from? I'd like some evidence that even a little yellow is bad, since I'm assuming that's the case - am I right?

BTW: I should've mentioned, this is on my Honda Odyssey, not my S70 (which has OTHER issues I won't go into here). People here seem more knowledgable than the seat of the pants people at odyclub.com.

Thanks!
