Well when I did my rebuild I did a compression test while the engine was still out but only turning by hand and one was way down due to an intake valve leaking. Dropped a little oil down on the valve and it was still leaking. Removed the plug and put compressed air in there in an attempt to seal it better and it came up a lot. I then turned it over a bunch of times and although it was still a little low I wasn’t as concerned. I wanted to do another compression test after getting it back in the car and putting some miles on it but it’s such a bitch to get in there I just haven’t bothered. But after seeing this recall I almost wonder if the leaky valve was due to a weak spring.

I need to get in there and do another compression test before I do the recall and then another after.
