[QUOTE="sadhish, post: 316692, member: 14736"] Compression test and Valve cleaning Hi guys, I went to M Power in Air Itam to do a compression test and while I was there, they sold me on come engine and valve cleaning thingy. Anyway the damage is : Compression test x2 (Once before the clean and once after): RM80 VALCLEAN Set (1 bottle pour into my petrol, the other he feed into the valves: RM120 The sparks plugs looks like they were going to go anytime, also the porcelain part was leaking oil. They salestalked me into going for the bosch super 4 RM110 Compression test results Values in BAR(PSI) Before the cleaning After Cylinder 1 8 (116) 9.4 (136) Cylinder 2 10 (145) 9.6 (139) Cylinder 3 10 (145) 9.8 (142) Cylinder 4 9.6 (139) 9.2 (133) Cylinder 5 9.5 (137) 8.9 (129) Cylinder 6 9.4 (136) 8.7 (126) The number appear to be a bit low compared to some of the results that you guys have posted. I assume it's the gauge itself. As I understand it, as long as the variance between the highest and lowest is not too far apart then everything is fine and dandy? My lowest value was about 88% of the highest value so I guess it's not too bad? Thanks again for any input :) [/QUOTE]
