    Go get yourself a PVC cap, drill a hole in the end, and add a valve stem. If it is a hair too small, wrap tape around the end until it's the right size. Don't forget to disconnect any crankcase ventilation lines that may pressurize the block. Blowing out your cam/crank seals is not desirable.

    After you have this fancy device, mix up some soapy water and go to town.
