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

piston
rings
This

condition

may
usually
be

accompanied

by
excessive

fuel

consumption

TEST
RESULT

If

compression
in

one
or
more

cylinders
is
low

pour
a
small

quantity

of

engine
oil
into

cylinders
through

the

spark

and
retest
com

pression

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
oil
does
not

sian
there
is
