Air leaking from the tailpipe usually indicates an exhaust valve leak


during a compression test, a cylinder has 40% of the specified compression reading. When the tech

performs a wet test, the compression reading on this cylinder has 75% of the specified reading. The

cause of the low compression reading could be




worn piston rings,


a burned exhaust valve,


a bent intake valve,


a worn camshaft lobe, - Ans:✔✔-worn piston rings




if compression increases during a wet test, this indicates worn piston rings. Compression would not

increase if an exhaust valve is burned, intake valve is bent, or camshaft lobe is worn.

power


while discussing basic diagnostic procedures,

first question the customer to obtain as much info as possible about the problem

Always attempt the more simple diagnosis first
