When i tested the thing (dry) ALL 8 were between 215 and 220 crazy consistent...I have a leak down tester but thats checking a closed combustion chamber for leakage-More specifically the LOCATION of the leakage, usually after a bad compression test no?

The other think is that is doesnt smoke except for a puff when going suddenly WFO from cruise, but i attribute that to the sudden shot of gas?
