Gary, I'm wondering the same myself, now that you mentioned it, as I used the #1 cylinder as a base for the test. My only guess is that it was coincidentally close to tdc with the timing marks and both valves were closed at the time I did the leak down test on #1. I just found tdc manually (aka a drinking straw with hash marks) for cylinders 5,6 and 7 to do the leak down test for those and didn't check anything else with the timing while doing that. I realize it all sounds kind of silly and might seem stupid that I over looked it, and I can't explain why everything worked or didn't work the way it did, but you just don't expect your timing marks to be moving around. I think my car was just mad at me for letting it sit for 2 years.
