[Vwdiesel] A test for Bart's Bountiful Oil Burner by Mark the Muffin man :o)

[Mark Shepherd]

Get a suitable length of valvecover hose and at one end fit a low pressure gauge (perhaps on a tee if running engine) or directly in the end if just cranking engine. Fix other end to the valve cover and say crank ten times to check sump pressure. Compare with another engine (maybe another poster) to see if you have relatively high sump pressure. Experiment for best technique. These  readings could be shared forum wide as a test of state of rings etc...
