I’m not really sure what you’re saying. The only reason the engine was cold was because I was doing the leak down as part of a 5 month full suspension refresh + a bunch of seals, sensors, bushings and etc. I drive the hell out of this car. Is the takeaway here that a cold leak down test is invalid? So what do you mean by “overall trend”? All I’m looking for here is whether or not cold oil burning is normal when going with a premuffler or indicative of worn valve guides.
