[Healeys] 100M Compression -- leakdown

[healeyguy at aol.com (healeyguy at aol.com)]

What's a leakdown test?

Basically pressurize a cylinder with the valves closed and see how long it
takes for the pressure to drop. Somewhat simplified explanation.

Whenever I discuss compression with my mechanic, he says I really need to do
a
leakdown". He says it's more informative.
Uh... What's a leakdown test?
