Default Leak down Test

Hi all,

So after my epic journey with this car, I have another issue. So the lack of power and running rich (-25% STFT) has led my to do another compression test and leak down test. My compression test came back good, Cyl 1 - 170PSI, Cyl 2 - 180PSI, Cyl 3 - 170PSI, Cyl 4 -175PSI.

I did a leak down test (used the one with 2 gauges - SPTools Leak Down Tester - https://transquip.com.au/products/sp...k-stopper.html. and for cyl 1, 3 and 4 got 25% (which is normal/good), but cylinder 2 I got 40%. I checked dipstick for air leak, exhaust for air leak and the intake manifold butterfly, all had no air. So I am stuck as to where the leak could be coming from.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Before you panic, do your tests again, make sure you are on TDC. Rotate crank again to the next TDC and do the test.
