Compression Testing a Diesel Engine | Perkins 4 Cylinder Diesel

I do a compression test on my Perkins 4 Cylinder Diesel engine in my JCB 208s (1CX) to make sure it's good on the inside. Compression Tester Kit: https://amzn.to/3tOKZD3 . A compression test can tell you a lot about an engine.

What is normal compression on a diesel engine?
275 to 400 psi What is good compression on a diesel engine? Good compression on a diesel engine falls in the range of 275 to 400 psi. You typically don't want to have a variance of more than 10% between cylinders.

An engine compression test will tell you many things about the mechanical condition of your engine. The test can detect, for example, pressure leaks through rings, cylinders, valves, or a head gasket without taking apart the engine. So you'll save a lot of time and money in diagnostics.

You can compression test the cylinders with the help of a compression gauge. All you have to do is connect the gauge in place of a spark plug and test each cylinder pressure in turn. Once you have the results, you compare your gauge reading to manufacturer specifications and interpret your results.

This is how to compression test a diesel engine tractor. Compression testing a diesel engine is different than a gasoline engine. Diesel engine compression tester gauges read a much higher pressure. A regular gasoline engine compression tester gauge won't work!
