Compression pressure check

The compression pressure reading of a cylinder is a good indicator of its internal condition.

The decision to overhaul the cylinder is often based on the results of a compression test. Periodic maintenance records kept at your dealership should include compression readings for each maintenance service.

Note

  •  before checking the engine for compression pressure, make sure that the cylinder head nuts are tightened to the specified torque values and the valves are properly adjusted.
  •  Make sure that the battery is in fullycharged condition.
  1. Warm up the engine.
  2.  Lift and support the fuel tank. Refer to “fuel tank removal and installation” in section 1g (page 1g- 9).
  3.  Remove the air cleaner box. Refer to “air cleaner box removal and installation” .
  4.  Remove all the spark plugs. Refer to “ignition coil and spark plug removal and installation” in section 1h .
  5.  Install the compression gauge and adaptor in the spark plug hole. Make sure that the connection is tight.
