If a compression Test __________ shows that any of the cylinders are leaking, a cylinder Leakage________
test can be performed to Measure________the percentage of compression _lost and to help locate the
Source of leakage A cylinder leakage tester Applies compressed air to a cylinder
Through the spark plug hole. The test normally includes the following steps
1 Make sure the engine is at Operating condition.

2 Remove the Radiator cap, oil _Filler cap, dipstick tube, Air filter cover,

and all Spark plugs.

3 Rotate the Crankshaft with a remote starter button so that the piston of the tested cylinder is at

TDC on its compression stroke This ensures that the valves of that cylinder are closed

4 Insert the threaded Adaptor on the end of the tester's air Gauge hose into the spark
plug hole.
5 Allow the Compressed air to enter the cylinder.

6 Observe the Pressure reading.

7 Listen and feel to identify the source of any Escaping air
