Hey guys,

I ran the tests a few weeks ago after getting my new and MUCH more accurate LongAcre leakdown tester, which actually uses much higher inlet pressure than the US General tester. Perhaps others have had better results with the US General, but I would not recommend purchasing one. Spend the extra forty or fifty bucks and get a more reliable unit.

These numbers are about as accurate as I'm going to get with a cold engine that hasn't run in a car for an undetermined amount of time.
#1 - 7%
#2 - 11%
#3 - 9%
#4 - 9%

#5 - 11%
#6 - 15%
#7 - 14%
#8 - 5-6% ( test that one three times)

I will run the tests after the motor is placed in the car, and warm.
