Default leak down test?

1990 accord 2.2 245,### miles

Can anyone tell me the proper way to do a leak down test?

Balance shaft seal blew out, 3 spark plug grommets leaked and filled holes with oil.
I was told bad rings could cause excess pressure in crankcase and cause this so I want to check them.

Also with plugs in I can spin motor around by just pulling on acc belt by hand pretty easily.

Thanks in advance

Did that.
I was looking for specifics on how to tell each cylinder is at TDC,I could not find that info specifically.

Or any other thoughts on what could cause this.

Pretty cool how you did that though.Smarty pants
