I think my results were much higher than they would have been hot with the engine fully oiled up, but it helped me to identify inconsistencies between cylinders. When 1, 2, 3 and 5 were all the same at just under 20, but 4 and 6 were ranging from 40-60%, big difference!

You have some very knowledgeable mechanics chiming in on your post Jeff, Ian, ect..Your in good hands.

Ideally, yes. But we leak down the motor to ensure all went well, no broken rings, and valves are seating. Even cold with no miles we see leakage of around 6-12% which tells us we are good to install and start the break in process. Its a quick check to ensure all assembly steps up to that point went according to plan....

Cheers
