Message	You will hear air moving through the plenum and entering the cylinders , then around the rings and throught the crankcase which is why you need to remove the oil fill cap and pull the dip stick to releave the pressure . while testing for leaks air will be continually moving through the system and escaping so youll need a steady supply of compressed air to keep up ( only 5 psi or you will blow out seals ).
