how to? on 2stroke: bottom end compression test and/or crank seal replacement
I've done some preliminary searching and so far haven't hit any good threads. Looking for 'how to' type threads on:
- Testing compression of 'bottom end' of motor
and
- description of how (and how hard) to replace crank seals
I'm guessing there are good threads already out there, so please post a link if you have one. thanks!

You have to have some sort of low pressure gauge and adapters along with expansion plugs. Granted most people don't have this set like we had at the shop,but there are other ways to "rigg" something like this up. 2 Stroke Leak Down Tester | Motion Pro
The video is a a good way to check gaskets,seals,etc for any leaks.

The main one on the 2 strokes that has problems is the seal behind the front drive clutch.BUT both seals really need to be replaced if you're going to do this. Just involves popping the clutch off,the seal pulls out with a cheap seal puller,just seat the new one in.On the other one the flywheel and stator plate have to be removed to get to the seal.
