just remember that a wet test isnt always the most accurate way to determine poor ring seal. it might not be the case in our 4 cyl. engines but imagine in a v8 with the cylinders at an angle relative to the ground. the oil you squirt in there doesnt get spread over the entire ring set, only the lower portion due to gravity.
