nitrorhys Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 The easy way is to take the glow plug out put your hand on top of the engine head and turn the engine over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmarder Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 The easy way is to take the glow plug out put your hand on top of the engine head and turn the engine over keep the plug in,and lift the car off the ground with the pull start,if the pull start supports the weight of the car with out pulling out,your compression is ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum94 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) keep the plug in,and lift the car off the ground with the pull start,if the pull start supports the weight of the car with out pulling out,your compression is ok if you ask me thats too much weight also, is your OWB is slipping your left thinking youve got low compression Edited April 9, 2009 by callum94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomPom Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Cheers guys, just wanted to know as im selling an engine and wanted to know the most deffinate way. Good thing i checked it with the way of holding the pull start and letting the car down. Holds it for around 2 seconds, is that good?
