MEASURING THE COMPRESSION PRESSURE
CHK
ADJ
CAUTION:
4. Remove:
spark plug
Before removing the spark plugs, use com-
pressed air to blow away any dirt accumu-
lated in the spark plug wells to prevent it
from falling into the cylinders.
5. Install:
compression gauge
1
Compression gauge
YU-33223, 90890-03081
6. Measure:
compression pressure
Above the maximum pressure
Inspect the
cylinder head, valve surfaces, and piston
crown for carbon deposits.
Below the minimum pressure
Squirt a few
drops of oil into the affected cylinder and
measure again.
Refer to the following table.
Compression pressure
(with oil applied in the cylinder)

Diagnosis
Higher than
without oil
Piston wear or damage
Repair.
Same as
without oil
Piston ring(-s), valves,
cylinder head gasket or
piston possibly defective
Repair.
