Results of Leakdown test : what to do now??
Hi,
I had a leak down test done today and the results are 8 % on two of the cylinders and 12% on the other two. They say that the rings have seized up due to carbon and that is what is causing the leak.
What do I do now?
Thanks
Es

thats pretty high, start by buying some seafoam and cleaning you combustion chambers.
take spark plugs out, put like 2 caps of it on each cyl. and start the car(lots of smoke) and repeat

What is your complaint with the car (for example, is it slow on acceleration), and was the leakdown/compression(they did both right?) done when the car was cold or when it was at operating temperature?

so you think 12% leakdown is ok.....mmmmm yea
even 8% is a lot by honda standarts....my b18b with 120k miles had 5% and i just swapped a gsr motor with 93k and it had between 2% and 3%...
