Street motors that test from 3 % to 25 % aren't bad scope
If it leaks worst than 25 % then you have to decide to fix it or drive it until you can't stand the oil consumption and poor performance shruggy


I’ll retry this way some time next week. The thing is there’s no smoke or oil consumption. The gauge I’m using is from Harbor Freight. I don’t do a lot of these tests so I didn’t want to spend a small fortune on a gauge I may use once.
