where did it sound like the air was going??I usually didnt want over 20% on a air cooled engine myslef even though I have seen them still run decent at 40% leak down.




where the air was being lost at is your secret on what is wore out------rings/pistons/cyl walls it just goes into the sump,valves would go out the respective hole
