Absolutely not.

Causes.
Plugged breather valve
Excessive ring blowby.
Blown head gasket passing gasses into crankcase.
Cracked piston.

Only X amount of ways to pressurize the crankcase.




What do you think would be the leakdown values for a cylinder with excessive blow-by to create crankcase pressure? 100% perfect, what is the leakdown magnitude (%) for 'not good'? I've gotten different answers for this question before so i'm just trying to see where the average 'no good' value falls?





Any engine will create positive crankcase pressure. Unless its got a vac system.


But if your looking for leak down No good value numbers, your right that can vary.

For a race engine over 10% no good, some will say over 5% no good. "No good meaning, your not getting the Most from your Motor"

Anything over 20% can indicate more then Just rings. As in burnt valves ,head gasket, piston issues etc. 30% 50% no question. "No good meaning, something may be broke Alice"
