ABSTRACT:
The radiator filler cap of a conventional internal combustion engine is replaced by an upwardly open tubular device having an adapter at its lower end to fit the radiator filler opening and seal off the radiator vent opening associated therewith. Liquid is added to the device to cause an indicator to float therein, and combustion gases escaping through the faulty head gasket will cause the indicator to vibrate when the engine is rotated. Each engine cylinder is vented in turn, by a tool acting on the valve operating mechanism to permit the observer to note when the vibrating indicator becomes stationary, indicating that the cylinder with the faulty head gasket has been isolated.
