<VV>: Fan bearing baffled no more & leakdown test.

[Padgett]

Hokay, everything cleaned up nicely so reassembled and after ten minutes 
lifters quieted down and everything seems right with world.

Installed new W8ACs though seemed a bit strained to open to .040" but with 
PII and Flame II it seemed about right (should be able to fire .060"). Now 
idling for extended periods at 600N/450D so something is right.

Tried to figure out cylinder leakdown tester I got a deal 
on  (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94190 
) - am a sucker for oddball tools when on a good sale. Problem was the 
booklet was almost useless (at one point it said to go to a 
professional)  so going to ask if I did right:

Connect to compressor. Open valve until leakdown guage reads 0 (was about 
20 psi on main guage) lock valve. Screw adapter into plug with cyl at TDC 
on power stroke. Connect stub to gauge. Read leakdown value. Seemed to be 
only process that made sense.

Also said to check warmed up but with plugs out and carbs off this was 
difficult. All cylinders read in 60-70% (yellow - moderate) range. Is this 
the right way ?
