Test 41 - Check Engine / Cylinder Leak

Down Test / Compression Test

Most engine problems may be classified as one or a combination of the following:

•Will not start.

•Starts hard.

•Lack of power.

•Runs rough.

•Vibration.

•Overheating.

•High oil consumption.

The Cylinder Leak Down Tester (Generac P/N 0F77000SRV) checks the sealing (compression) abil- ity of the engine by measuring air leakage from the combustion chamber. Compression loss can present many different symptoms. This test is designed to detect the section of the engine where the fault lies before disassembling the engine.

Procedure:

1.Remove a spark plug.

2.Gain access to the flywheel. Remove the valve cover.

3.Rotate the engine crankshaft until the piston reaches top dead center (TDC). Both valves should be closed.

4.Lock the flywheel at top dead center.

5.Attach cylinder leak down tester adapter to spark plug hole.

6.Connect an air source of at least 90 psi to the leak down tester.

7.Adjust the regulated pressure on the gauge to 80 psi.

8.Read the right hand gauge on the tester for cylinder pressure. 20 percent leakage is normally acceptable. Use good judgement, and listen for air escaping at the carburetor, the exhaust, and the crankcase breather. This will determine where the fault lies.

9.Repeat Steps 1 through 8 on remaining cylinder.

Results:

•Air escapes at the carburetor – check intake valve.

•Air escapes through the exhaust – check exhaust valve.

•Air escapes through the breather – check piston rings.

•Air escapes from the cylinder head – the head gas- ket should be replaced.

Check Compression:

Lost or reduced engine compression can result in (a) failure of the engine to start, or (b) rough operation. One or more of the following will usually cause loss of compression:

•Blown or leaking cylinder head gasket.

•Improperly seated or sticking-valves.

•Worn Piston rings or cylinder. (This will also result in high oil consumption).

PROCEDURE:

1.Remove both spark plugs.

2.Insert a compression gauge into either cylinder.

3.Crank the engine until there is no further increase in pressure.

4.Record the highest reading obtained.

5.Repeat the procedure for the remaining cylinder and record the highest reading.

RESULTS:

Normal compression is approximately 150 psi. The dif- ference in pressure between the two cylinders should not exceed 25 percent. If the difference is greater than 25 percent, loss of compression in the lowest reading cylinder is indicated.

Example 1: If the pressure reading of cylinder #1 is 165 psi and of cylinder #2, 160 psi, the difference is 5 psi. Divide "5" by the highest reading (165) to obtain the percentage of 3.0 percent.

Example 2: No. 1 cylinder reads 160 psi; No. 2 cylinder reads 100 psi. The difference is 60 psi. Divide "60" by "160" to obtain "37.5" percent. Loss of compression in No. 2 cylinder is indicated.

If compression is poor, look for one or more of the fol- lowing causes:

5308, 4583, 4451 & 4986, 4582 & 4987 specifications

Guardian Technologies has carved a niche in the market with its innovative air purification and UV-C sanitization products. The company's model numbers, including 4582, 4987, 4451, 4986, 4583, and 5308, represent a diverse range of solutions designed to enhance indoor air quality and safety in both residential and commercial settings.

The Guardian Technologies 4582 is equipped with a true HEPA filter that captures 99.97% of dust, pollen, smoke, and other particles as small as 0.3 microns. This model features a smart sensor that adjusts the fan speed according to the air quality in real-time. The UV-C light technology integrated into this device works to eliminate viruses and bacteria, providing an additional layer of protection against airborne pathogens.

The 4987 model follows suit with similar advanced features but adds a sleek design ideal for modern interiors. With multiple speed settings and a night mode, the 4987 is perfect for bedrooms or quiet spaces. Its energy-efficient operation coupled with an indicator that signals filter replacement ensures that users maintain optimal performance effortlessly.

The Guardian Technologies 4451 and 4986 models are particularly notable for their enhanced capacity and filtration efficiency. Both units incorporate a three-in-one filtration system that includes a pre-filter, activated charcoal filter, and HEPA filter. With their strategic design, these models not only purify the air but also trap common household odors, making them a popular choice for families with pets.

The 4583 model stands out with a unique combination of design and functionality. It features a low-profile design, making it easy to fit into any space. Its UV-C light technology not only disinfects air but can also sanitize surfaces, bridging the gap between air purification and direct sanitation.

Finally, the Guardian Technologies 5308 caters to larger spaces, offering impressive air circulation and filtration capabilities. Equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter and a powerful fan, it effectively cleans larger areas while maintaining whisper-quiet operation.

In summary, Guardian Technologies’ products exemplify a commitment to improving air quality and promoting health through innovative technology. With features like HEPA filtration, UV-C sanitization, smart sensors, and sleek designs, consumers can choose from a range of models that best fit their needs, ensuring cleaner, safer indoor environments.
