Message	I've seen numerous posts about % leakage that others are reporting or saying is "normal". I might drive 4 hours away to check out a '92 JDM for my swap and have to make a decision to buy it on the spot and am curious what you guys would feel comfortable with as far as the leakage goes? It hasn't been run in long long time. Without knowing any better, I'd probably buy it if I saw less than 10% (hopefully all within 2-3% of each other) across all 6 cylinders, but I don't know if that is unreasonable for an engine that hasn't been run in a couple of years and is completely cold. What do you guys think? I'd probably be looking at paying around $700-$800. Thanks!
