Re: Didn't bleed lifters - 90 cold compression new engine

I will ask them % leak down when I pick up the car tonight. They told me it was leaking past the rings.

I had those high compression readings cold with a cap full of oil, but they told me around 100 +/- 5 psi when they did it warm. I've got a cheap testor and I assume they can at least do that correctly and I was wrong.

Would a valve seal allow all that oil into the camber? Am I back to my original problem with the lifters and I have bent valves? I guess I'm going to try to run it a while and see if it improves. If not, pull the head and see what's really up. Also, when I've tried boost leak tests, the car doesn't hold pressure and it sounded like it was going right out the exhaust no matter how I had the tb turned - not sure if that's relevant.
