leak down

[robert weinberg]

i seem to remember 034 said my engine was about 5-7% when they did a leakdown. 
the compression test was in factory specs. it had 116k on the clock when they 
did the tests.

was your car run low on oil a few times or something? or lots of detonation?

20 / 30% of what? Makes no sense!
Did you do a compression or leak down tests on the engine?
Oil usage? Why the valve stem seals?
