With a simple diesel engine compression test, it is possible to spot compression problems before they get worse. Here’s information on these tests and how to decide if it is time to perform one.

Also, engine compression readings can vary depending on altitude and other factors, so it is more important to compare the cylinders to each other rather than the assumed compression number.

A compression test reveals the condition of your engine's valves, its valve seats, and piston rings and whether these parts are wearing evenly.

We take a close look at what engine compression means, what it does, and how to test it.

Stock car racing engines are all about efficiency. That's because all the simple solutions for making power have either been maximized or eliminated by the rule book. You aren't allowed power adders ...

Inspecting a diesel engine for clues as to how much longer it will last requires the right techniques and tools.

Compression in a diesel engine is essential for effective and efficient performance. And when compression is lacking, damage can result. That’s why it’s imperative to know whether your engine’s ...
