Moderators-please delete if this is an issue, but my last two posts got combined and now the last post link is acting really wonky. ‘Last post’ leads you t the first post of the 8 page thread.

Anyhow, is there any acceptable leak down rate in a block pressure test? My block has been under pressure for almost 8 hours and has lost about 2 pounds. Just curious if there is some amount of expected leak down through the water pump or any other accessories?

Maybe just under 2 lbs. Initially it was about 1/2lb in the first 3 hours or so. Still holding ~13lbs 8 hours in.
