1 | Warm up engine to normal operating temperature. | Only check compression pressure on an engine that is at operating temperature. | |
2 | Remove spark plugs. | ||
| |||
3 | Crank engine. | ||
This process serves to remove combustion residue from the cylinders. | |||
4 | Screw adapter into spark plug threaded bore of the cylinder to be checked. | Adapter | |
5 | Connect compression recorder to the thread adapter. | Compression tester | |
| Check | ||
6 | Crank engine. | ||
Aid of helper required. | |||
7 | Carry out test procedure on further cylinders in the same way. | ||
8 | Compare measurement values with permissible values. | Installation tolerance or new value of compression pressure | |
Compression pressure, permissible difference between the cylinders | |||
Wear limit or limit value of compression pressure | |||
If the minimum compression pressure is not reached or if the permissible difference between the individual cylinders is exceeded, | |||
| |||
Check cylinder leakage. | |||

9 | Disconnect compression recorder from adapter. | Compression tester | |
10 | Unscrew adapter. | Adapter | |
11 | Install spark plugs. | ||
