Compression pressure inspection


Compression pressure drop is one of major causes of increasing blowby gas (lubricating oil contamination or increased
lubricating oil consumption as a resultant phenomenon) or starting failure. The compression pressure is affected by the following
factors :

1. Degree of clearance between piston and cylinder


2. Degree of clearance at intake/exhaust valve seat
3. Gas leak from nozzle gasket or cylinder head gasket

In other words, the pressure drops due to increased parts wear and reduced durability resulting from long use of the engine.
A pressure drop may also be caused by scratched cylinder or piston by dust entrance from the dirty air cleaner element or worn
or broken piston ring. Measure the compression pressure to diagnose presence of any abnormality in the engine.
Compression pressure measurement method

1. After warming up the engine remove the fuel injection nozzle from the cylinder to be measured.
2. Before installing the compression gauge, cut off the fuel supply by the adjusting lever and check if fuel comes out while
rotating the flywheel manually.
3. Install the compression gage and compression gage adapter at the cylinder to be measured.

Measuring the compression pressure

1. Compression gauge

CAUTION
Do not forget to install a gasket at the tip end of the adapter.

4. Install the compression gage and compression gage adapter at the cylinder to be measured.
5. Crank the engine by the starting motor until the compression gage reading is stabilized.

Standard compression pressure

Ÿ Standard : 35 ± 1 kgf/cm2 (497 ± 14.2 psi)


Ÿ Limit : 27 kgf/cm2 (383.4 psi)
Ÿ Difference among cylinders : 2 ~ 3 kgf/cm2 (28.4 ~ 42.6 psi)

Check items
When the measured compression pressure is below the limit value, inspect each part by referring to the table below.
Compression pressure check items

Item Cause Corrective action


Air cleaner element Clogged element Clean the element
Broken element Replace the element
Defect at element seal portion
Valve clearance Excessive or no clearance Adjust the valve clearance
Valve timing Incorrect valve clearance Adjust the valve clearance
Cylinder head gasket Gas leak from gasket Replace gasket
Retighten the cylinder head screws to the
specified torque
Inlet/exhaust valve Gas leak due to worn valve seat or foreign Lap the valve seat
Valve seat matter Replace the inlet/exhaust valve
Sticking valve
Piston Gas leak due to scoring or wear Perform honing or boring/honing and use an
Piston ring oversized part
Cylinder
