Make an adapter to put compressed air in the spark plug hole. Then set the piston at TDC, lock it in place, and add air pressure to the cylinder. Now listen to the intake, exhaust, and dipstick for air. Feel around the head for leaks, maybe spray a little WD40 at the gasket area, and look for bubbles. There is such a tool as a leak-down tester. You can make one just look it up. But this will give you an idea of where you might be losing compression. you should hear NO sound at the intake and exhaust.  SOME sound at the dipstick. NO bubbles from the gasket
