To perform a leak down test, first, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the cylinder being tested. Disconnect the spark plug and connect a leak down tester to the spark plug hole, applying compressed air to the cylinder. Observe the pressure gauge; a significant drop indicates leaks, and you can listen for escaping air at various points (like the intake, exhaust, or crankcase) to identify the source of the leak. Finally, repeat the process for each cylinder for comprehensive results.

Why no compression on cylinder 5 on 350 small block?
It could be any of the following: * A sticking or burned valve, * A damaged head gasket * A damaged or worn piston If it's a damaged or worn piston there should be quite a bit of "blowby", meaning that there will be pressure inside the crankcase when the engine is running. If the head gasket is damaged there should be a leak into the crankcase (blowby again, or a leak into the water jacket, in which case you won't be able to keep coolant in the radiator. If it's a sticking valve or just about anything else that causes poor compression, you can perform a "leak-down" test to find out where the compression is leaking. Since you know it's the #5 cylinder, perform the leak down test on that cylinder and see where it's leaking... then you'll know.
