Yes you can if you use a leak down tester.  In aviation these are called a
"differential compression tester".  They have two gauges, measure pressure
going in v/s what is being held by the cylinder.  A typical reading might be
75/80.  80# going in, 75 being held.  Ears are used to check where the leak
is.  A reading of 64/80 is still acceptable in Aircraft piston engines.
