Schrade, when you say squeeze check, are you talking about compression? Unless you've got specialized equipment, it's impossible to perform a dynamic compression check. I do have that equipment. As far as a leakdown, there is no time period involved. You roll a cylinder to TDC firing, hold the piston at TDC with a breaker bar and apply the air pressure with the leakdown rig. The gauge displays the % leakdown. You can hold the pressure for 5 seconds or 5 hours, the reading will not change.

If none of this is what your post was referring to, please ignore.
