FAIL, but not bad.
Pressure leaked from 1.3"Hg to 1"Hg in about 40 seconds (spec calls for 5
minutes for that pressure decay); but then it stayed at around 0.44"Hg for
about 5 minutes.  My leak checking apparatus ws leaking, too.  So, I'm
happy.  Much better than it was.  Doesn't smell anymore.  I recommend the
process.
Cheers,
