Ok, thanks a bunch guys.

So basically if the engine leaks more than 20 percent, there is NO EXCUSE for that being acceptable.. regardless of how long it has sat, oil/no oil, etc. Also, it seems there is no reason at all to use a compression tester if you have access to a leakdown tester... right?

this guy is telling me to just to a comp. test, but i dont think there is a point if the leakdown doesnt pass. right? thanks again for spelling this out for me!
