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.

Or it was "adjusted" (bucketed) too tight -
