Remember make sure the valves are in the closed position first before checking compression... I highly doubt you damaged a piston due to an over rev...

You mean leakdown, right? Compression is tested while the engine is cranked...

One thing, did you test other cylinders, or just #8? I just wanted to rule out a tester malfunction. I know it's a long shot, but i didn't see any mention of testing other cylinders.
