Compression Loss, is a result of a leak, in one or more cylinders of an engine.
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, […]
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 […]
Engine misfire issues, will always cause your engine performance to suffer. Because, they affect fuel economy, emissions and idle quality. In addition, when a misfiring vehicle, is subjected to an emissions test, it will usually fail. […]
The engine power balance test, can be a great way to pinpoint a cylinder, that’s under performing. Most importantly, 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 a wet compression test. Above all, an engine’s cylinders need a good seal, between the rings and the cylinder walls. Also, between the […]
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 […]
An engine compression test, is the most practical way, to learn about the mechanical condition of your engine. Because, doing a engine compression test, will help you locate; potential internal problems, affecting engine performance. Running […]
The first sign of sticking valves, is usually engine missing or running rough when cold. But, sticking valves can also simply be, the byproduct of cold-weather operation. In this case, the sticking valves, will often […]
