Greetings:

I have seen a plug inserted into the OKO spigot. This allows testing of the reed block and gaskets above and below. Pump from a fitting in the manifold plug with the piston at mid stroke and everything can be evaluated. Spray soapy water at the spark plug, head, base, end seals and reed block, looking for Mr. Bubble. Compression test is better to test the rings
