How do you figure? The leakdown pinpointed that it was the exhaust valve that was what was causing the lack of compression.

the rule of thumb is anyhting over 10-15% percent difference between the average of the rest is an issue! I might skip this one and check out some others!

yes...i agree...

but the compression already told you enough, which is to stay away.

leakdown told you the same thing, which is to stay away.

doesn't matter which exhaust valve, 1 or 2...you should stay away regardless.
