MEASURING THE COMPRESSION PRES-
SURE
The following procedure applies to all of the cyl-
inders.
NOTE:
Insufficient compression pressure will result in a
loss of performance.
1. Measure:
valve clearance
Out of specification
Refer to "ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEAR-
ANCE".
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
3. Disconnect:
spark plug cap
4. Remove:
spark plug
CAUTION:
Before removing the spark plugs, use com-
pressed air to blow away any dirt accumu-
lated in the spark plug wells to prevent it
from falling into the cylinders.
