Message	Leakdown test showed pressure loss through the exhaust. I removed the cams/lifters and repeated the test, same result. Since nothing was holding down the valves, that was the only possibility. Also, at first I brought the heads back to the shop and they told me that the lifters were stuck and needed to be 'broken in', which I bought because I didn't really do my best to ensure the lifters stayed upright. So I soaked them in oil for a few days, pumped them a bit, reinstalled. Same issue, so I started driving it hard to cycle the lifters more, to no avail. Of course the shop never stands behind work where they don't do the assembly, so I was screwed on that front. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 (Dead) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Stock Turbos) (Est. 400 HP) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (GT600R) (Est. 600 HP) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD) 2008 Honda Civic (DD) 1969 Chevy C10 (Toy) 1969 Chevelle (Toy)
