What?!? Really??? Leak down tests and testers have been around a lot longer than 15 years. This supposed waste of time according to you will tell you exactly what's going on inside the cylinder whether it's a single cylinder or Multi cylinder engine, period. A compression test will reveal a weak cylinder but a leak down test will tell you way more about what's making it weak.
