Subject:leaking Head test....opinions needed

Hello all:

Continuing my epic overheating battle in my 2.1L
(suspecting a head leak)....

I built a little gizmo to pump air into the spark plug
holes ( A Shrader Bicycle valve fitted to the threads
of a hollowed-out spark plug) My plan is to pump about
60psi into each chamber (this procedure recommended by
a listee) and watch the Expansion Tank to see if it
bubbles. Ken Lewis also insisted the cylinder be at
TDC to do this.

Does this sound like I'm doing it right?  Please email
advice if I'm missing something.

Also...how do I establish TDC???

Thanks!
