I think I may have dodged a bullet.. I took it for a nice "easy" spin around the block, all felt normal.. those psi numbers look within spec to me. Do you think a leakdown would still be necessary?
If it is hurt, the motor don't know it in the combustion chambers, do it
AKA, your good on that part
Ok.. I ran a leak down on all the 155psi range cylinders.. #'s 1,5,7 and 8.. coincidentally, they are some of the easiest to get to also.. they all checked in the green"low range".. #1 being the worst at around 30% leakage the rest were around the 15-20% range. I'm pretty confident I didnt bend any valves. I suspect #1 showing more leakage than the others because of some slight pitting in that cylinder toward the top of the bore. That was my fault, when I did the head swap I broke some of the head bolts loose and then stopped.. for like 2 days, water got into that cylinder and formed some very slight pits.. I know.. another knuckle head move !! But, I think I'm in the clear as far as bent valves go.
