Re: compression check

[mark krawczuk]

hi, you would not  get  any reading at all, unless u can turn it over fairly quick.  when u turn a engine over by hand,  you have leak down, this you dont really want when u  want to test  a engine like u stated, . but there are  certain tests that DO  require a leakdown test. mark k   ----- Original Message ----- From: Cleary Signs To: Datsun Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 9:52 AM Subject: compression check Hi list,   Just wondering how accurate it would be checking the compression of a motor by turning it over by hand? with a screw in compression tester. rather than with the starter motor? just to check if they are all the same?   thanks Heath --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
