The engine power balance test, can be a great way to pinpoint, a cylinder that is underperforming. Above all, a cylinder that is not working as well as, the other cylinders in the engine. The […]
AFTER YOU HAVE DONE A BASIC COMPRESSION TEST, THE NEXT STEP IS, WET COMPRESSION TESTING. Above all, an engine needs a good seal between the rings, and the cylinder walls. Also, between the valves, and […]
So, having a compression leak between cylinders, can allow the compression, to leak from one cylinder to the next. This causes a loss of compression, and sometimes, allows exhaust gasses, back into the intake, depending […]
Firstly, a running dynamic compression test, confirms how effective each cylinder is, at pulling air in. Secondly, holding it for the correct amount of time, then letting it go, into the exhaust. So, if a […]
So, the first sign of worn out piston rings, is engine blow-by. Consequently, if you are seeing puffs of blue smoke out of the exhaust, it means the engine is burning oil. Also, with worn […]
So, Engine Compression is the pressure created, inside each of the engine’s cylinders. And, low or no compression leads to, incomplete combustion and misfires. Symptoms of low engine compression can be, an illuminated (CEL), and […]
Doing a cylinder leak down test, can tell you more about your engine than you think. Also, a cylinder leak down test, can pin point issues in specific areas, that other tests can not. So, […]
Valve guide wear, refers to excessive clearance, between valve stem and valve guide. As valve guides wear, the side to side movement, can cause valves to seat improperly. Valve leakage, causing compression loss, is another […]
So, performing a cylinder power balance test can help uncover, hidden engine issues, commonly missed with other tests. Cylinder power balance testing, can find issues related to, engine misfires, lack of power, or just a […]
So, the most common reasons to do a engine rebuild are, loss of compression and or excessive engine oil consumption. Consequently, what’s important now, is to recognize the signs of trouble, before you end up […]
Trying to find engine misfire causes, can be a little tricky and seem overwhelming to the average person. However, while driving, paying close attention to how your engine is running, can help you narrow down, […]
Firstly, low compression can be caused by a number of different issues resulting in engine misfires. Secondly, let’s say you have ruled out ignition and fuel delivery, as the cause of the engine misfire. Consequently, […]
Cylinder head gasket leaks, can cause a variety of problems. And, usually happens when your not expecting it. First of all, you can not see the cylinder head gasket, without removing the cylinder head. So, actually […]
Doing a compression test, is a good way to measure the condition of, the rings, cylinders, and valves. So, if your engine is running rough or is lacking power, consider doing a compression test. Also, […]
