Leak Down test results
 

Offical Complete results of the Leak down test with the proper fitting is as
follows:

#1 -- 14.4%
#2 -- 24.5%
#3 -- 17.7%
#4 -- 11.1%
#5 -- 10.0%
#6 -- 13.3%

Just for the record.

Wonder if doing it to a warm engine might be revealing?

I'm curious not having used a leak down tester, what does the percentage
signify?

If I was you the first thing I'd do is run around testing every car I
had that is running well... At the very least you can get an idea of
what kind of variation is common with the tester you have. If you find a
number of 10% variations then that 24.5% number doesn't look so scary ;)
If not then you may be looking at the gasket between #2 and #3 :(

Bill,

When you tested #2 and #3 cylinder, did you check to see where the leakage
was? #2 is a bit high and #3 is iffy. remember, a new engine can have as
much as 8%, so the rest of them appear to be ok.
