B.
Worn oil seals
can cause lack of vacuum. Oil leakage is usually evident around worn oil seals. (See
Oil Seal Replacement Instructions).
C.
Blowby, leaky valves
can also cause positive pressures. These conditions can be confirmed by making
a compression test on the engine.
Figure 22 "U" Tube Manometer
Compression Test:
The results of a compression check can be used to determine if an engine is in good
operating condition or if reconditioning is needed.
Low readings
can indicate several conditions or a
combination of the following conditions:
LOW COMPRESSION
POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
A.
Cylinder head gasket blown.
B.
Cylinder head warped or loose.
C.
Piston rings worn - blowby occurring.
D.
Valves leaking.
A.
Remove head, replace gasket, reinstall head,
recheck compression.
B.
Remove head, check for flatness (see cylinder
head service), reinstall and secure in proper
sequence to specified torque value.
C.
Recondition engine.
D.
Recondition engine.
Higher than normal compression can indicate that excessive carbon deposits have built up in the
combustion chamber.
A simple "feel" test can be used as a "spot check" if poor compression is suspected as the reason for
hard starting and lack of power. If results of test point to poor compression -- this test should be followed
up with the more precise and accurate test method using a compression gauge.
METHOD 1 - SPOT CHECK (WITHOUT GAUGE)
A.
Remove high tension lead from the spark plug.
On all engines, rotate flywheel backwards (counterclockwise direction) against power stroke - if little
or no resistance is felt, check with compression gauge.
METHOD 2 - COMPRESSION GAUGE TEST
A.
Remove spark plug and insert compression gauge in hole.
Construction - "U" Tube Manometer
Vacuum gauges, mercury and water manometers
are available commercially. A water "U" tube manometer
is simple to construct if limited usage does not warrant
purchase of commercial product. To construct water
manometer, proceed as follows:
a.
length of clear plastic tubing. Bend tube to form "U"
and mount on board as shown in accompanying
illustration. Make gradual, rather Procure than sharp
bend in tube.
b.
Measure inside, straight section of tube and mark
inch increment from 0 to 12".
c.
Procure cork having outside diameter which will be
a snug fit in the oil fill hole. Drill hole in center of
cork to receive one end of tube.
d.
Pour water (colored for easier reading) into tube
until level reaches the approximate halfway mark on
scale.
When using manometer, place cork end into oil fill
hole (other end open to atmosphere) and measure
difference between columns. If water column is higher in
tube connected to engine, vacuum or negative pressure in
indicated. If the higher column is on the atmospheric side
of manometer, positive pressure is present.
