(d) Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
NOTICE: This measurement must be done in as short a
time as possible.
Compression pressure:
1,226 kPa (12.5 kgf/cm
2
, 178 psi) or more
Minimum pressure:
981 kPa (10.0 kgf/cm
2
, 142 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2
, 14 psi) or less
(e) If the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low,
pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the
spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (c) for cylinders
with low compression.
•If adding oil helps the compression chances are that the
piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn or damaged.
•If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating is
improper, or there may be leakage past the gasket.
