Personally, I think you will be fine.
What do I know? Just an old fart with a lot of worn out motors.
Guys like to brag, you know?
"I can hang a towel on it" then "I can hang a WET towel on it!"
It never ends.
Look for where the air is leaking with soap and water or a hose to your ear.
It may be instructional, but I think you will be fine.
Perfect is always best, but good enough is good enough...

For sure!! When I built this leak tester a few years ago it leaked horribly before I added the thread tape.
I think I'll go with it. If this was a new build, that would be a completely different story. This motor, except for a top end, is all original..... 20 years old! So I understand a little seepage. If it blows over time.... a stroker crank and big bore kit it is!!!
7psi with no more than one psi drop in 10 minutes is a pass in my book...
If it is leaking now, it will possibly leak more in a months time....
Leak test twice a season...
