 To perform the test, you will need an air compressor, a Leakdown Tester (around $50 online) and something to listen for air leaks, like a mechanics stethoscope (with the probe removed) or a length of oil line hose. (A small air compressor can be had for under $100, but if you purchase one that can produce 5cfm or more at 90psi, you can use it for some air tools as well.) To perform the test, you will need an air compressor, a Leakdown Tester (around $50 online) and something to listen for air leaks, like a mechanics stethoscope (with the probe removed) or a length of oil line hose.

 There are many variables here [engine temperature,​ precise piston position, whatever]. The test results will not be consistent from one test to the next, so multiple tries should be recorded and a consensus value established. There are many variables here [engine temperature,​ precise piston position, whatever].
