Did you put a light coating of Dirko or other sealant around the outside of the seals before installing?

This is what Stihl's leak-down test says, Use rubber bulb to pump air into the engine housing until the gauge shows a pressure of 0.4 bar (5.8 psi). If this pressure remains constant for at least 20 seconds, The engine housing is airtight, so I would think if yours is holding 5 psi...
