How long after a rering does it take for your leakdown numbers to get back in shape? I know that if you dont need a renic job, that it takes a little while to get the rings seated in. Any estimation of hours that takes?
I have about 6 hours on my engine post rering, about 2 hours on it since switching from Dino oil to full synth, and when I checked my leakdown today it was still pretty bad. The motor had one sleeve put in it, but the other 5 were good, no renic. All the pistons were replaced with top pin wizards.
I think something is wrong with my gauge set, so I have a new one coming so I can recheck it with a higher quality leakdown test setup. Just wondering if anyone has any idea about how long it takes to get the new rings worn in to the existing cylinder shape.
Thanks
