John, What I'm reading from this person's description is basically that you pump air into the spark plug holes and listen where it comes out--exhaust, intake, or coolant. Why do you need even to measure the pressure? Are there some specs to measure against, eg., each cylinder should hold x amount of pressure for x seconds? If so, what are the specs? I've never done one of these tests before. Thanks,
