Leak Down Test

Re:Leak Down Test
Basically, the gauge should read in percentages. Any more that 10%, you got problems. Put a little oil in the cylinders through the plug holes and test again. If the results are signifigantly less loss, you have worn rings.

no you pressurize the cyl and see how much the psi drops over a period of time (seconds usually).
Experienced people can tell whats leaking by how much psi is lost. If you cant even pressurize the cyl that would tell me the valve is open of you have NO rings.. stuff like that.
