Anywho, back to blown out piston rings. What's the difference between:
- checking cranking pressure
- compression test
- leak down test |
A compression test should reflect near identical pressures in all cylinders. Lower numbers in adjacent cylinders identifies gasket issues. If the introduction of oil increases pressure, the rings are worn.
A leak down test identifies ring wear/failure to hold pressure.
