Bought an engine from LKQ, a beta 2 from a 2010 hyundai elantra. I intend to put it in a 2007 kia spectra.
So after picking it up, unloading it, i immediately did a leak down test.
Cylinder #4 seems okay. cylinder 3, 2, 1 though are highly questionable. So to keep it simple, just testing cylinder 1 at TDC, all my marks look good, and I'm getting 25-30% leakage, and noticeable air coming out of the exhaust. I can feel it blowing with my hand.
My real question is, before I call and sound like an idiot making a warranty claim, there should not be any nonsense with the variable valve timing messing up a leak down test is there?
