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.
