Valve timing incorrect Adjust
Cylinder head gasket defective Replace gasket
Valve incorrectly seated Lap valve
Valve stem seized Replace valve and valve guide
Valve spring weakened or broken Replace
Cylinder or piston rings worn Overhaul engine

Engine Compression Test Procedure
1. Start and run the engine until the engine reaches
normal operating temperature.
2. Turn the engine off.
3. Remove all the spark plugs.
4. Remove ignition coil fuse (15A) and disable the
ignition system.
5. Remove the fuel pump relay from the relay and
fuse box.
6. Engage the starter and check that the cranking
speed is approximately 300 rpm.
7. Install cylinder compression gauge into spark plug
hole.
8. With the throttle valve opened fully, keep the
starter engaged until the compression gage needle
reaches the maximum level. Note the reading.
9. Repeat the test with each cylinder.
If the compression pressure obtained falls belo
w
the limit, engine overhaul is necessary.
