Oh, just remembered some quick additional info that may or may not help. But, anyways, when testing cylinders 1-3 it took several turns of the engine (about two or three dozen) to get it up to 95-100PSI. But with cylinder 4 it popped right up to 165 almost instantly and the very first time. And when turning it over only one cylinder made a plunger sound, couldn't tell which one it was for sure by listening. Well, hope that little extra helps some.
