Yeah, the point I was getting at is that (assuming his cylinders can
hold pressure) if he really wants to check the seals and guides without
having to pull the head he can pressurize the cylinder to hold the
valves up and pull the valve seals that way.

I already did that with a Leakdown
tester and was very good and both leakdown and compression was even on
all cylinders.

Check? Dunno...
I've been toying with the thought of doing mine by pressurizing the
cylinders with the head on the block. Problem I have is that I don't
think my rings will hold enough pressure to make this feasable.

frustrated with having to pull the head all the time.
