Here's my opinion: Don't use that test. It's not a very reliable test and puts pressure on all the seals in the engine and could cause a seal to blow out.
If there are no other problems with the engine, don't worry about the blowby.

The YouTube engine has virtually no blowby. I've seen 617's puff like steam locomotives yet still run fine.
