I've been on the list for five years, possibly longer. I'm pleased to see
Don the mystery man break out into the public eye with a good supply of
Vanagon parts to make him memorable.

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.
