4.2.6. Check of a compression

GENERAL INFORMATION

Measurement of a compression


The size of a compression shows, in most cases, the tsilindro-piston group of the engine is how worn-out.

For measurement of a compression it is necessary компрессометр for diesel engines with the maximum indications not less than 30 bars.

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. To completely charge the accumulator. To adjust gaps of valves. To warm up the engine up to the working temperature.
2. To power off candles of an incandescence and the socket of the electromagnetic valve of supply of fuel.
3. To remove one of candles of an incandescence and to screw in a nest of a candle transitional the union of a kompressometr.
4. To turn a bent shaft a starter several times. To record the maximum value of pressure of compression.
5. To repeat measurements on other three cylinders.
6. Decrease in a compression in all cylinders most often indicates wear of cylinders, rings and pistons.
7. The lowered compression in one of cylinders means damage of plates and saddles of valves, a burn-out or cracks to the piston, damage of laying of a head of the block of cylinders or a crack to a head of the block of cylinders.
8. The lowered compression in two next cylinders most often means damage of laying of a head of the block of cylinders between cylinders.
