Did you get a wet compression test done after the dry test?
Also with the leakdown test did you notice air bubbles in your rad?

Are cylinders 2 & 4 beside each other? I can't remember and still a bit fuzzy from last night. (Have to love those 2am & 4am baby feeding/diaper changes)

With a wet test if the compression level increase a lot on #2 then your rings are a bit worn.

If that was my engine I would be happy with the results.

i am pretty happy with the results, i know that i just need to do a nice tune up, replace the pcv, i've already put in a new air filter, made a HUGE difference. my baby can breathe!
