That's for sure. In aircooled Porsche circles there
is always talk about compression vs leak-down tests.
Bruce Anderson, the guru of Porsche mechanical lore,
always advises to do a compression test. If OK, quit.
Only do a leakdown if the compression test shows a
problem. Otherwise, a leakdown might make you THINK
you have a problem that you don't have.
