RE: compression test
Buy a $20 compression tester kit at parts store, screws into spark plug holes, turn over engine
and see how much compression it can build up ...... checks for bad valves, rings and such.
should read 150psi and you want every cylinder to come out as close to each other as possible.
How do you check for leak down?

How do you run a compression test...and what does 150 mean as far as compression.

Depends on what the leakdown numbers are. You can have good compression, yet still burn oil.

RE: compression test
Thanks, Pro50SC.
but if I have good compression readings then I dont need to
do a leak down test right?
Thats what I picked up from that link.
A leak down test finds where the problem is from a bad compression check. right?
