Default Re: 8BA compression issues

I did a leak down test with disappointing results. All the cylinders except one were at 45-50% with the air leak coming from the carburetor. The remaining cylinder was 80% with air escaping from the carb and the exhaust pipe on that side. Next I plan to remove the intake and that followed by the heads if necessary. The engine has adjustable tapers so I wonder about the valve clearance.
