4045 L12 Compression Test
4045 L12 Compression Test
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.
2. Shut off engine and proceed to connections for two-valve or four-valve cylinder head engines as required.

Other engines - Remove fuel injection nozzle then install JT01679 adapter [Part of JT01674A Compression
test kit, but can be ordered separately.] (A) with JT02017 clamp [Part of JT01674A Compression test kit, but
can be ordered separately.] (B).
CD30432-UN: Compression test adapter (for use with FKM10022 Test gauge)
LEGEND:
A - 19.58—90.578 Adapter
B - R73788 Nozzle Spacer
C - R92352 Nozzle Seal
D - Holding Plate
E - FKM10022 Test Gauge
NOTE:
If using FKM10021 Compression Test Set, install 19.58—90.578 Adapter (A) in injection
nozzle bore with R737858 Nozzle Spacer (B) and two R92352 Nozzle Seals (C). Use
holding plate (D) to secure. Then attach FKM10022 Test Gauge (E) to adapter.

Attach JT07042 [Part of JT01674A Compression test kit, but can be ordered separately.] 600 psi gauge or JT01682A
[JT01682A 400 psi gauge has been replaced by JT07042 600 psi gauge in JT01674A kit.] 400 psi gauge (except for
PowerTech “E” engine) to adapter.
NOTE:
For engines with compression greater than 400 psi, use JT07043 1000 psi gauge.
LEGEND:
NOTE:
Engine compression pressure can be tested either through glow plug hole or through injector hole.
1. Remove glow plug then install JDG11065 adapter (A) or remove injector then install JDG2047A adapter (B).
2.
CD31148-UN: Attach compression test gauge
Attach JT07042 [Part of JT01674A Compression test kit, but can be ordered separately.] 600 psi gauge or JT01682A
[JT01682A 400 psi gauge has been replaced by JT07042 600 psi gauge in JT01674A kit.] 400 psi gauge to adapter.
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.

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.
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.
