Blow Down Testing

1995 Pontiac Grand AM four cylinder.

I understand how to do cylinder blow down testing but do not know how to interpret the results. I would imagine if it lost no pressure, that would be good. What if it lost say 10 PSI in one minute is that good? What is good and what is bad?


Thanks, Scott


This is how it's done with general aviation engines:
