Changed some heater piping in cooling system. Cooling system is about half full of fluid now. How can I pressure test for leaks before refilling system? MCI 5C
Thanks

1st, fill it up. Then, close up the system and get a radiator pressure pump tester, made by Stantz, or at least mine is. Be careful, just had a friend blow a radiator doing the same thing. If the system is sound, it should withstand pressure to around 15# without leakage or damage.
