Default My engine is perfectly heathly...

Compression test last week read almost 180 across all cylinders. I just did a leak down test and couldn't really figure out the instructions lol but the biggest difference between the two gauges was at the very most 2 percent.

The only thing i didnt really understand on the instructions was how to read the percent difference. But the engine held the pressure so well it didnt matter.

Think its time to pull the turbo and take a look. I had tons of oil coming out the hot side today when I was warming the car up for the leak down test.
