You can conduct whatever you like - however your IA will require that a
leak down test be performed since it is prescribed under Part 43. Doug wrote: Does anyone do an "automotive" type compression test on their aircraft engine? I think this kind of "dynamic" test might show problems (such as valves not opening all the way), that a leakdown test would not (and vice-versa). Anyway my annual is coming up and I want to do it. I imagine something that screws in and has a long hose to the guage, so no one has to stand behind the propellor.
