    Update - parts required for a pressure test

    I posted previously of various issues. Mostly all have been resolved but two.
    Summary: last fall I had a overheating engine due to a clogged elbow at the lift muffler. I believe It pumped water into the crank and I had difficulty extracting this milkshake mix.
    Fast forward: I poured two quarts of kerosene into the block. Ran it on idle for 3 minutes and was able to extract everything from the back of the gearbox. Proceeded to do 3 oil changes and while it is getting much better the oil is still not clear.
    From my previous post: sorted a lot of things and the engine is running fine.
    Is it possible to have a breach in the cooling system would not effect combustion?
    If someone can point me to the parts required for a pressure test I would be appreciative.
    Not sure if I'm closer to launch or further at this point.
    Thanks everyone

    Here's how I did it a few years ago. Parts required: bicycle inner tube, bike tire pump w/integral pressure gauge, or pressure gauge from Home Depot.

          Always a good feeling to accomplish something yourself - without farming it out.
