My civic is burning oil and smoking pretty bad. The 3rd cylinder has oil and carbon build up, all the others are dry. Compression is even across the board, so I wanted to get a leakdown test to see if it's the rings or something with the valves. The bottom end of the engine was rebuilt about 1,000 miles ago, I don't know why one ring wouldn't seat and the others would.

Anyways, I'm looking for someone with a leakdown tester to help me perform a leakdown test to try to find the problem. I don't want to pay a shop a ton of money, so I'll offer to pay the person who helps me out $20. Let me know if you can help out. I'm in the Richmond area. Thanks.

Mine is a hose to the plug hole, and 2 guages with an orifice between them and a regulator and air line fitting on the other end, as are all I have seen that are guage type. No fluid.
