I searched and found that everybodys leakdown results are different! Any way i didnt have a guage so what i did was just used my compressor to pump air into the cylinders. this is what i heard.
Cylinder #1 and Cylinder #3 when i put air in the cylinder In TDC i felt air coming out of the oil cap hole and the dipstick hole. even when i moved the crank back and forth i still felt it come out of the cap and the dipstick hole.
Cylinder #2 and Cylinder #4 i heard it both on the intake side and the exhaust side of the motor! While the air would enter the motor i moved the crank back and forth! When i moved it forward i heard it more on the exhaust side of the motor, and when i moved back i heard it more on the intake side! but when i put on TDC i heard it both in the intake side and the exhaust side leaking.
Thoes test above are done with the spark plugs in them except to where i was putting the air in.
But when i took the spark plug out of the 4 cylinders and when i put air into the 2nd cylinder i felt air come out of the 4th cylinder and when i put air in the 3rd cylinder i felt air come out of the 1st cylinder.
BTW compression test was #1=180 #2=180 #3=100 #4=175
any hints or anything that might give me these results!
i have crower 272/272 race cams, its a 2.3 stroker with 8.5:1 je pistons that is .020 over.
