FAIL, but not bad. Pressure leaked from 1.3"Hg to 1"Hg in about 40 seconds (spec calls for 5 minutes for that pressure decay); but then it stayed at around 0.44"Hg for about 5 minutes. My leak checking apparatus ws leaking, too. So, I'm happy. Much better than it was. Doesn't smell anymore. I recommend the process.
