    pressure leak coming from the no. 1 piston

    i just replaced my engine. got a BRAND SPANKING NEW engine, and when i took it into the dealer to have them check everything out, my no.1 piston was only putting out 25 pounds of pressure. now with this being a new engine i assumed that the head gaskets werent blown, but i am leading to believe that this is so. so, where could this leak be coming from? there appears to be normal smoke coming from the exhaust.
