If you don't have a leak down testor you can improvise with this little trick, hook up your compressor to it and listen in the exhaust and intake for leaks.... you can also lay paper over the in/ex opening to see if any physical movement....

Just make sure you don't seal the hole through the center...

I will see about building one tomorrow after work. My compression tester has an air fitting where the dial hooks on so i will see if that might work also. Thank you again for all your help.
