This is probably a dumb idea - could you use uv dye and freon to pinpoint the leak ?The reason for freon is that it will evaporate and leave the uv tracks if you elect to disassemble

Maybe.

Last time I was able to fill it with water and see to leak so I'll problem try that first. I lent out my little borescope camera so getting that back today to aid with the search.

Just added about 3/4 gallon of water to flood the liner bases and repressurized ...I figured check where the leak was last time first

Pressure still dropping and nothing leaking out the bottom so I just flipped it over, hopefully I have enough water to fill the heads

Presure seems to be holding now. Tomorrow I'll pull out the camera and look for the leak

Its tomorrow but pressure is still holding with nothing leaking anywhere I can see. Last time is was leaking air a little slow than this time and had a about 5 seconds drip with water so I was expecting to find at least that rate but the floor is dry, inside the cylinders is dry...there is no leak that I can find.

I'll wait another day and look again but it sure looks like a pass and ready to heat and retorque
