jnaut · 04-22-2011, 07:13 PM

I have researched but came up with nothing, does anybody know factory nissan spec on leak down percentage? Thanks for your help jason.

I know on the 350 it was 20% or less was considered within spec. But 20% is on the high side IMO. I recall this from my FI install. For this matters on a OEM block. Make sure whoever does this uses a good quality tool for this job for it is well know to get erratic results if not done properly. But a dealer should be able to let you know the specs from the service manual.
