This test, indispensable for measuring the capability of an engine to hold pressure, is an integral part of any thorough engine health assessment due to its ability to pinpoint issues that rob you of power and reliability. Learn how to use compressed air and a gauge set to evaluate the condition of your engine cylinders, pistons, rings, and valves without disassembling the engine See step by step instructions, tools needed, and how to interpret the results.

Before you tear down the engine, pinpoint where problems are by using these three steps to do an engine leakdown test.
Should allow you to quickly determine, the basic condition of any engine So, a compression test is a “dynamic test” (engine moving) On the other hand, a cylinder leak down test is a “static test” (engine at rest) See tools needed, testing procedures, and how to interpret results on repairpal.
