Compression check for fault-tracing
General note
In the course of fault-tracing a
compression check
can also be per-
formed.
A compression tester is required to check compression. The compres-
sion should be between 9 and 12 bar (130 and 174 psi).
Instruction
Compression check for fault-tracing.
Measurement
Individual readings for the cylinder must not differ by more than 2 bar
(29 psi).
If the value is below 6 bar (87 psi), inspection, repair or overhaul must be
carried out in accordance with the BRP-Powertrain instructions for contin-
ued airworthiness.
- Detailed inspection of affected engine components.

Operate the engine until the temperatures have stabilized for a period of 5 min
(engine oil temperature between 50 to 70 °C (122 - 160 °F).
2

dirt particles can enter through the spark plug bore into the combustion cham-
