Otherwise you're measuring leak down on the garage.

Was able to get leak downs done. All 6 between about 12 and 25 percent. Seems ok for 200k on the engine. Car has been sitting for a year. Will test again after I drive it a bit.

Good news. Maybe I'm lazy but I usually stop at a compression check unless something is really off. Drive the pizz out of it.

I know. 4 cylinders at around 15 percent. 2 around 25. Could hear air going out inlet area. So am hoping it may improve with some driving. If it doesn't will see. But car seemed to drive ok. Had it up to 80 with no issues. It's an automatic and for what I will use it for wont bother me for now.

Just tell yourself there is some carbon/gunk on the intake valves and off you go! Put some miles on it, maybe try a seafoam cycle if you want to mess with it.
