What would happen if you grabbed the wrong leak down tester out of the tool box. IE: used the small orfice on a large engine or visa-versa?
To my way of thinking if you used the small orfice on a large engine you would possibly fail a good cylinder since the tester couldn't supply enough air to keep up with allowable leakage.
The opposite would seem to be true if you used the large orfice on a small engine. Too much air would be supplied masking a leak that should fail the cylinder/
Is my thinking correct?
