whats a leakdown test mate?
Kinda compression test but more advanced, pressurised air is fed into each cylinder one after the other while a pressure gauge monitors how the pressure is being maintained in the bore. Because of the constant flow of air into the bore, you can tell if either valve (exhaust, inlet) leaks, if you have a headgasket leak, or, leaky rings.
