Compression Pressure Check

  1. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
  2. Disconnect the spark plug cables and remove the spark plugs.
  3. Crank the engine to remove any foreign material in the cylinders.
  4. Put compression pressure gauge into spark plug hole.
  5. Crank the engine with throttle valve wide open and check compression pressure at each cylinder.

    Specification:  Approx. 1, 029kPa (10.5kgf/cm2 , 149psi) (250~400 RPM)

  6. Is compression pressure for each cylinder displayed within specifications?

    YES 

    • Go to "CHECK TIMING " procedure.
    • Add a small amount of oil through the spark plug hole, and repeat above steps. If the addition of oil causes the compression to rise, the cause is a worn or damaged piston ring or cylinder inner surface.

    NO 

    • If the compression remains the same, the cause is a burnt or defective valve seat, or pressure is leaking from the head gasket. Repair as necessary. Go to "Verification Of REPAIR " procedure.
