Introduction Compressed-gas cylinders are the silent workhorses of countless industries—fire protection, SCUBA, aviation, medical oxygen, and industrial welding all rely on vessels that hold gas at ...

After three months and 5,000 miles, the budget SUV with a mild hybrid drivetrain is proving a solid all-rounder capable of ...

OTC makes our list for the second time with a tool designed for cylinder leakdown testing, which complements compression testing in engine diagnostic procedures. This tool allows you to feed ...

The prior simulation and testing suggested that the significant increase in geometric compression ratio (more than 4 points) would benefit from Miller cycle volumetric efficiency reduction to moderate ...

To reduce design costs, arc simulations are commonly employed for arc extinguishing analysis before type testing. However ... the most easily overlooked being the treatment of the compression cylinder ...

Compression test kits do just what they say: measure the ability of each cylinder of your engine to combust the fuel/air mixture without losing any of the resulting energy. While they're not as ...

the gauge will read out the actual cylinder leak rate. See All 11 Photos Compression testing is another good tool to use when diagnosing an engine. Combining the results of a leak down test with a ...

15000, I thought it was better than whatever BMW would do blindly opening an engine. A compression test was performed on all 4 cylinders that showed consistent 225 psi across all 4 cylinders. I also ...

To test for a bent engine valve, the ideal check would require you to remove the cylinder head and take a physical look at the valve. However, this is more work than most people want to deal with, ...
