Nope leak down - kind of a reverse compression test, air is pumped into the bores via the spark plug hole and then the time it takes to leak out recorded, you also get an indication of where it's going (listen for it coming out) so you get an idea of what's buggered! e.g. if it comes out the intake it's the inlet valves, exhaust is exhaust valves and crank breather is piston related.
