Good the hear -- I had the same success last summer and used auto tranny fluid. Filled the offending 2 cylinders up by about 1 inch and let it sit for a few days. Uses a turkey baster + short hose to suck* it all out and retested. All was good too -- this was on an NA engine. Old timers have been using the ATF trick for long time on engines that had been sitting for years.
* also need to crank the engine a few times with a rag over the plug opening to make sure a majority of the fluid is gone.
I agree - this is something that's easy and cheap to try before pulling the block all apart. Something I'll recommend to anyone that has a cylinder out of range in comparison to the rest.
