Instead of relying solely on compression readings, this tool introduces controlled shop air into the cylinder and displays leakage as a percentage on a dedicated gauge while a second gauge monitors input air pressure. Built with an adjustable regulator, M14 adapters, and a 26-inch hose, the CLT-2 is compact, portable, and made in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the CLT-2 measure cylinder leakage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CLT-2 feeds pressurized shop air into the cylinder through a threaded M14 adapter while an accurate leak gauge registers the percentage of air escaping. A precision regulator lets you set the input pressure up to 100 PSI, and the leak gauge uses a multicolored band to quickly interpret low, moderate, and high leakage readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrecision regulator controls air input up to 100 PSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM14 standard reach adapter and M14 long reach solid adapter for varied spark plug depths\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e26\" hose assembly for flexible access to engine bays\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-1\/2\" leakage gauge with 0–100% scale and color zones for quick evaluation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the two gauges show and why are both useful?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne 2-1\/2\" gauge displays leakage as a percentage with a visual color band to help interpret results at a glance. The second 2-1\/2\" gauge shows input pressure in PSI and bar so you can confirm steady supply pressure while testing, which improves consistency and repeatability of readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeakage gauge: 0–100% range with multicolored band (low, moderate, high)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupply gauge: dual-scale PSI\/bar to monitor shop air pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimultaneous readout reduces guesswork and misdiagnosis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich adapters and hose features make the CLT-2 practical?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CLT-2 arrives with both a standard M14 reach adapter on a 26\" hose and a long-reach solid M14 adapter to handle a variety of spark plug well depths and engine layouts.

By quantifying leakage in percentages and keeping input pressure stable, the CLT-2 helps prioritize repairs and identify the likely failure area before disassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplements compression testing for clearer diagnostics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eQuickly isolates leak paths to valve train, rings, or head gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces unnecessary teardown by focusing inspection areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: The Lang Tools CLT-2 is ideal for professional mechanics, small repair shops, and serious DIYers who perform engine diagnostics and want a compact, dependable cylinder leakage tester. Its dual gauges, adjustable regulator, and two M14 adapters make it versatile across most gasoline engines; the kit’s compact packaging and U.S. manufacture suit busy service bays and mobile technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What maximum pressure does the CLT-2 use?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The CLT-2 uses shop air up to 100 PSI controlled by its built-in precision regulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the kit include adapters for recessed spark plugs?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, it includes an M14 standard reach adapter on a 26\" hose and an M14 long reach solid adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Lang Tools","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48081468555422,"sku":"B008PV86UW","price":170.73,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/lang-tools-clt-2-front-view-kit.jpg?v=1785806050","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/lang-tools-cylinder-leakage-tester-clt-2-100-psi-dual-gauge-kit-with-m14-adapters-and-26-hose","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
