7. ENGINE COMPRESSION TEST
Remove fuel injectors, and clean fuel injector
bores in cylinder head (para 3-6b).
Install D-558 compression gage adapter
(FSCM 05083 P/N 70-314) in fuel injector
bore at No. 4 cylinder, and secure with clamp
assembly and spacer as shown.
Connect compression gage (FSCM 10988
P/N CD-504) to adapter, crank engine with
starter, and record gage reading.
Depress vent button to relieve gage pressure
and repeat test.
NOTE
Engine cranking speed must be approximately 200 RPM for
reliable test results. If necessary, charge batteries to maintain
proper cranking speed.
Disconnect compression gage and adapter from No. 4 cylinder and repeat above test at remaining
three cylinders.
The gage reading for any one cylinder at a given altitude above sea level must not be less than the
minimum listed in the chart below.
In addition, the difference between gage readings for the highest and lowest cylinders should not exceed
25 PSIG.
