Wow, that's more than one engine rebuild per week for forty years. I find

You won't find it if you look for "air test" but if you search for "leak
down test" you will find that its done  all the time.  Quite a common
method for checking out an engine before deciding to tear it apart.

Its not like its some big secret or anything.
