2-28 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECK
The compression pressure reading of a cylinder is a good indicator of its internal condition.
The decision to overhaul the cylinder is often based on the results of a compression test. Periodic mainte-
nance records kept at your dealership should include compression readings for each maintenance service.
Compression pressure:
Standard: 1 500 kPa (15.0 kgf/cm², 213 psi)
Limit: 1 300 kPa (13.0 kgf/cm², 185 psi)
Low compression pressure can indicate any of the following conditions:
* Excessively worn cylinder wall
* Worn piston or piston rings
* Piston rings stuck in grooves
* Poor valve seating
* Ruptured or otherwise defective cylinder head gasket
NOTE:
When the compression pressure goes below specification, check the engine for conditions listed above.
COMPRESSION TEST PROCEDURE
NOTE:
* Before testing the engine for compression pressure, make
sure that the cylinder head bolts are tightened to the specified
torque and the valves are properly adjusted.
* Have the engine warmed up before testing.
* Make sure that the battery is fully-charged.
Remove the related parts and test the compression pressure in
the following manner.
• Remove the spark plug. (
2-8)
• Install the compression gauge and adaptor in the spark plug
hole. Make sure that the connection is tight.
• Keep the throttle lever in the fully open position.
• Press the starter button and crank the engine for a few sec-
onds. Record the maximum gauge reading as the cylinder
compression.
