i just got done with my compression test and leakdown tests and am wondering what to do. can you guys help me with the results?

cyl 1=(invalid, bad intake valves) 90 psi compression
cyl2=182 psi, 23% leak
cyl3=180 psi, 25% leak
cyl4=188 psi, 36% leak

so do you think i should i pay the machine shop to put in .020 over pistons and rings in?

the motor was cold during this test. hasnt been run in several weeks.

what specs should i be inside of? also, this was a cold test
It's not really the spec's you're looking at.

90 / 180 / 180 / 180
90 = something is wrong because they must all be "around" the same. Any crazy oddball is bad.
