Q » How do you perform a compression test, and what do the results indicate?
17 Oct, 2025
A » To perform a compression test, first warm the engine, disable the ignition, and remove spark plugs. Insert a compression gauge into a spark plug hole, crank the engine, and record the reading. Repeat for each cylinder. Results indicate engine health; low readings suggest issues like worn piston rings or valves, while variations between cylinders may point to gasket problems. Consistent readings across cylinders reflect good compression.
