When you put air in the cylinder it won't stay at top dead center. This is how I do it. Install the leak down tester then bar the engine over until you obtain the highest pressure reading (least amount of leakage) .Use a long half inch ratchet, it takes a fair amount of effort to hold it at TDC. Also OTC tools are pretty good and usually not snappy priced.
