Test Engine Compression Pressure

Test Engine Compression Pressure

IMPORTANT:

Compression pressures are affected by the cranking speed of the engine. Before beginning test, ensure that
batteries are fully charged and injection nozzle area is thoroughly cleaned.

1. Start and warm up engine.

2. Shut off engine and proceed to connections for two-valve or four-valve cylinder head engines as required.

Compression Test (All Engines)

1. Making engine not able to start, crank engine for 10—15 seconds with starter motor (minimum cranking speed—150
rpm cold/200 rpm hot).

2. Compare readings from all cylinders. Compression pressure must be within specification.

Item Measurement Specification

Engine Compression Pressure Test

file:///C:/ProgramData/Service%20ADVISOR/Temp/CTM104_09001faa8023d5b5.html 5/14/2023
Page 4 of 4

PowerTech “E” engine Pressure 2825—2965 kPa (410-430 psi)

Other engine Pressure 2380—2790 kPa (345—405 psi)

Maximum Difference between Pressure 350 kPa (50 psi)


Cylinders

NOTE:

Pressure given was taken at 183 m (600 ft) above sea level. A 3.6 percent reduction in gauge
pressure will result for each additional 300 m (1000 ft) rise in altitude.

All cylinders within an engine should have approximately the same pressure. There should be less
than 350 kPa (50 psi) difference between cylinders.

3. If pressure is much lower than shown, remove gauge and apply oil to ring area of piston through injection nozzle or
glow plug bore. Do not use too much oil. Do not get oil on the valves.

4. Test compression pressure again.

If pressure is high, worn or stuck rings are indicated, replace piston rings or install new piston and liner set as needed.
(See Section 02, Group 030.)

If pressure is low, valves could be worn or sticking. Recondition cylinder head as required. (See Section 02, Group
020.)

5. Measure compression pressure in all remaining cylinders and compare readings. Recondition cylinders and valves as
required.
