Leakdown test - Hot vs cold

I performed a leakdown and compression test on my 87 930, 7.5 to 1 RUF 3.4L pistons and cylinders, stock cams. For numerous reasons the engine was stone cold.

Compression: 1 - 153, 2 - 154, 3 - 154, 4 - 151, 5 - 154, 6 - 153.
Leakdown: 1, 2, 5, and 6 - 6%. 3 and 4 - 5.5%.

I like the numbers as far as consistency, but would anyone like to guess what the numbers would be on a hot engine?

I'm guessing they were worse due to heat expansion or something. What were they?

should be the same or slightly better. Those are very good numbers.

I have not done the hot numbers yet. I was thinking they would be better.
