I am assuming that when I get down to taking the intake manifold off, I will have everything off that will include the valve covers, as well, thus making it easier to determine if I am...

I am back to trying to find TDC for cylinder number 1 so I can perform a cylinder leak down test. Is there a surefire way of knowing that both valves are closed when the piston for cylinder number 1 is up on a stroke for TDC?

I am a one man operation, currently. Is there a way I rig up my compression gauge without the schrader valve in to signify when I am at TDC by psi reading on gauge?

Have all spark plugs removed for cylinder leak down test?

Thank you!

How do I know which is which if I am just using the 0 mark on the harmonic balancer for finding cylinder 1 TDC versus cylinder 5 TDC?

cylinder 1 had a 16% leakage coming from crankcase. cylinder 4 had a 32% leakage and I am struggling finding where the leakage is? It's not coming from the exhaust tailpipe... or crankcase... Still have to test the other 4 cylinders.

Thank you.
