COMPRESSION TEST
NOTE:
This engine does NOT have decompression
components. Compression readings will vary in
proportion to cranking speed during the test. Average
compression (measured) is about
150-170 psi
during
a compression test.
A smooth idle generally indicates good compression.
Low engine compression is rarely a factor in running
condition problems above idle speed. Abnormally
high compression can be caused by carbon deposits
in the combustion chamber or worn, damaged
exhaust cam lobes.
Inspect camshaft and
combustion chamber if compression is abnormally
high.
