*
No cylinder reading should be less than 689 kPa (100 psi).
10. The following are examples of the possible measurements:
*
When the compression measurement is normal, the compression builds up quickly and evenly to the specified compression on each cylinder.
*
When the compression is low on the first stroke and tends to build up on the following strokes, but does not reach the normal compression, or
if the compression improves considerably with the addition of three squirts of oil, the piston rings may be the cause.
*
When the compression is low on the first stroke and does not build up in the following strokes, or the addition of oil does not affect the
compression, the valves may be the cause.
*
When the compression is low on two adjacent cylinders, or coolant is present in the crankcase, the head gasket may be the cause.
