88% Get this Question Right
During a compression test, a cylinder has 40% of the specified compression reading. When the tech performs a wet test, the compression reading on this cylinder has 75% of the specified reading. The cause of the low compression reading could be
A
worn piston rings
B
a bent intake valve
C
a worn camshaft lobe
D
a burned exhaust valve
If compression increases during a wet test, this indicates worn piston rings. Compression would not increase if an exhaust valve is burned, intake valve is bent, or camshaft lobe is worn.
