Hi Mike, I did a leak down test on the low comp cylinder, Its giving me a 80% leak and im hearing the air pressure escaping in the valve covers. Would that be a valve or ring /sleeve issue?
Thanks.

I have the heads off, im taking them to a machine shop today to have them checked out. The sleeves inside the block look fine, is there a way to visibly see if one has dropped? While everythings apart I guess i should inspect everything for peace of mind.
Thanks again.

Just make sure they are all sitting at the same level and you don't see any cracks.
