| NEWCLEAR PRESSURE TESTER | SUBMERGIBLE TYPE |
|---|---|
| Hot Water, Cold Water and Air Test. Separate ball valves which feed hot or cold water immediately. Water flows through an in-line heater element. The advantage is that you have almost immediate hot water flow ONLY when necessary to heat up a cylinder head. Minimum water and electricity is used. Cold water cools head. | Large container of water which needs to be constantly heated up to maintain temperature. Head cannot be cooled down upon completion of test, danger to operater |
| Transparent Plate in Frame gives clear visibility to pinpoint exactly where head may be leaking e.g. crack down a belt hole, cracked in the oil gallery, cracked underneath a seat, porosity leaking or cracked from a jacket to a seat. | Water gets dirty fairly quickly. Bubbles appear and one is not sure if a rubber stopper is leaking or a crack - you cannot pinpoint the exact location of the leak. The rubber gasket / steel plate tends to cover areas which may be cracked e.g. jacket to valve seat. |
| Rubber blanking off elements - full set provided which will suit most heads used internationally. | Rubber gasket steel plate - each head needs it's own plate - expensive and time consuming locating the correct plate to suit each head. |
| Rubber blanking element kit provides manifold blanking rubber to allow inlet and outlet flow of water / air through water ports on top of cylinder head. | Special inlet ports on the side of the heads need to be made to suite different heads. |
| Heads and blocks can be rotated 360 degrees. | Submergible - cannot handle large blocks. |
| V10 Mercedes Benz blocks can be pressure tested and rotated. | Cannot accommodate. |
| Cat 3406 heads can be pressure tested. | Cannot accommodate. |
| Simple system to accommodate any type of head e.g. V8, Citroen, Peugeot diesel etc. Quick and easy to setup. Position of setup is easily accessible by hand or overhead, block & tackle in the case of large blocks or Cat heads. | - |
| Heads can be dirty - grind welded section slightly - and can still be pressure tested without affecting the efficiency of the machine.Only hot water test. | Submergible type - heads all need to be totally cleaned before submerging. |
