I have a rule about compression and leak down tests- I avoid doing them. I only do then when there is a real issue.

Reason being, your probably gonna find something to make you stay up at night. Like #7 with 17% leak down when the others are all 12-13, or cylinder 4 in 10 psi low on compression.

If you can't feel a difference, just run it.

I am sure it's fine...the valvetrain setup you have is built for abuse.

I'd say you're good. Just don't have a cup in the cup holder the next time.
