If antibodies are detected by an initial test based on the ELISA method, then a second test using the Western blot procedure determines the size of the antigens in the test kit binding to the antibodies.

If antibodies against the protein are available then western blotting and ELISA can specifically detect and quantify the amount of desired protein.

If a compression test does give a low figure, and it has been determined it is not due to intake valve closure / camshaft characteristics, then one can differentiate between the cause being valve / seat seal issues and ring seal by squirting engine oil into the spark plug orifice, in a quantity sufficient to disperse across the piston crown and the circumference of the top ring land, and thereby effect the mentioned seal.

If a second compression test is performed shortly thereafter, and the new reading is much higher, it would be the ring seal that is problematic, whereas if the compression test pressure observed remains low, it is a valve sealing ( or more rarely head gasket, or breakthrough piston or rarer still cylinder wall damage ) issue.

If a problem is suspected then a more comprehensive test using a leak-down tester can locate the leak.
