Question popped up on the MBCA 115 forum about a 615 engine and leak

Was looking thru the latest Harbor Freight Tools catalog (they know my

a cylinder leak-down tester for $40
a Diesel Engine Compression Tester - $18 - I'll probably buy one of these -
a Fuel Injection Pump Pressure Tester

I bought a set of 3/8 drive metric Craftsman hex sockets at Sears - on

At $8 it'd be hard to pass on this one.
Now, what's you find in the Viictoria's Secret catalog? Anything we might
