  • A healthy motor is the epitome of performance. Most engines I've seen underperform and there's a simple tool you can use to find out if your engine is doing well....the compression guage. Here's a simple "How to" video on doing a compression test which can be applied to any engine.

    Why you take two measurements, which is the valid the 4 cranks or the 12 cranks?

    Nice video! Interesting that the belt (and therefore cylinder 1) were on the driver side, as all the 4 cylinder cars I’m familiar with (VWs and Toyotas) have those on the passenger side.

    Excellent description. Are the two cranking measurements similar to a dry/wet test?

  • @CerealKiller187

    Thanks a ton, great work!

  • @ifixeditmyself1926

    Great vieo. Very helpful

  • @JReiid

    This engine looks very similar to the 7AFE in my 1998 Celica, very strange but also cool, being it’s in a Honda!

    Hi, the wet reading on one of the cylinders is lower than dry reading..what could be the inference..?
