Different

compression
in
two
or

cylinders
usually
indicates

an

improperly
seated
valve
or
broken

piston
ring

9
Low

compression
in

cylinders
can

result
from
worn

This

condition

may
usually
be

accompanied

by
excessive

consumption

TEST
RESULT

If

compression

one

is
low

pour
a
small

quantity

of

engine
oil
into

cylinders
through

the

spark

I

If

adding
oil
increases
the
com

pression
pressure
the
chances
are
that

rings
are

faulty

2

If

pressure
stays
low

probable

cause
is

that
valve
is

sticking
or

seating

improperly

3
If

cylinder
compression
in

any

two

adjacent
cylinders
is

low
and
if

adding

does

sian
there
is
