having a little issue...

Not questioning your competence,but U did zero the gauge when before you hooked it to the cylinder?

Even when I had out of round int/exh I still had only 24% leak down.fwiw

u know it was dark and i mite have forgot... but i do know there was this wooshing noise on all the cyl. and when i spun the motor over i could hold my thumb over the hole on #6
