The compression of a cylinder is good indicator of its internal condition. The decision to overhaul the
cylinders 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.
COMPRESSION
I
Low compression pressure can indicate any of the following conditions:
Overhaul the engine in the following cases:
*
* Difference in compression pressure between two cylinders is more than 200 kPa (2 kg/cm2, 28 psi).
*
Standard
1300 - 1600 kPa
13 - 16 kg/cm’
184 - 227 psi
Excessively worn cylinder wall
Worn-down piston or piston rings
Piston rings stuck in the grooves
Poor seating of valves
Ruptured or otherwise defective cylinder head gasket
Valve clearance out of adjustment
Starter motor cranks too slowly
Compression pressure in one of the cylinders is less than 1100 kPa (I 1 kg/cm’, 156 psi).
All
compression pressure are below 1300 kPa (13 kg/cm’,
1100 kPa (11 kg/cm2, 156 psi).
Limit
1100 kPa 200 kPa
(Difference in cylinders
184 psi) even when they measure more than
COMPRESSION TEST PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Before testing the compression of the engine, make sure
that the cylinder head bolts and nuts are tightened to speci-
fied torque values.
Warm up the engine before testing.
Remove all the spark plugs.
Fit the compression gauge 0 in one of the plug holes, while
taking care that the connection is tight.
Twist the throttle grip full open.
Crank the engine a few seconds with
the maximum gauge reading as th
cylinder.
graded SE or SF into the engine after overhauling engine.
l
Start up the engine and allow it run for several minutes at
idle speed. About several minutes after stopping engine,
check that the oil level remains between the marks of oil
level inspection window.
