Default Leakdown test results update

An update of my previous thread below.

Hooked up a hose from my dipstick tube to a catch can and took it out for a 25 mile run with several 3/4 throttle blasts. The pics show how much oil is blowing out of the tube.

Did a test again and got 16% across all cylinders. Slight improvement on the 20%.

Engine is coming out at the weekend and going back to the builder for investigation.

That's alot of oil. Something is not right. Hopefully you get it done right.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
