After we did a snap diagnosis of blown head gasket on our 4.0 Jeep, we decided to go back and give it a proper compression test.
Here are all the things you need to know in order to prepare for the test, what the results mean, and how to use oil (wet test) to determine what kind of damage is killing your cylinder's compression.

1947 Jeep flat head 4, all of the sudden its running on the two outside cylinders. My brother and I figured head gasket, no compression tester. We decided to use a blow gun to squirt air down the plug holes, to verifyour diagnosis. He leans over gives it a shot in the second plug hole, the air coming out of the third plug hole blew his hat off. Yup its leaking between 2 and 3. 😂 New head gasket later, it ran like a worn-out 47 Jeep again.

Do the rings brother. You're already asking that engine to tow, something it's not really gonna love, so show it some love with a ring job. It'll be worth it in the end, and you'll know you gave it every chance at succeeding. Also doing the rings SUCKS so there's that....

Why do rings and not rod bearings. Then why not main bearings. At that point pull the cam out and do those too. Why leave the engine in shoulda just pulled the engine and sent it out for boring align honing and decking too. I mean might was well do the pistons while your at it. Nitrous yeah that will help

@selfdo
@selfdo 3 месяца назад
Pretty much, with THAT sort of mileage (264K? Wow...can't say the engine didn't hold up, AFAIC, it went LONGER than Chrysler ever engineered it to!), if the compression is low, and it's not something like a collapsed lifter, or valve lash REALLY "out of whack", or jumped timing chain or broken timing belt (and if it's an "interference" engine, it's likely "fucked" anyway), you WILL have to do at least a "ring job", but most likely, a complete rebuild, replacement rebuilt short block, or even a "factory re-built' engine. The particular route to go depends upon what you want to do with the rebuilt/replacement engine, expected service and service LIFE, and comparative COSTS. In many cases, especially IF you've got a good cylinder head, no broken/burned valve seats, no need to replace valve springs/ rocker shafts, to have it serviced at a machine shop and simply buy a short block, when it's going to be strictly a stock motor, is the most reliable and cost-effective solution. If you want to build a "performance" engine, find a reliable performance shop that has experience with that particular line of engines, i.e., don't have the local guy that builds Chevy LS engines redo your Toyota's 22R engine; if you want it to do a "burn-out" like the "revised" Marty McFly's '86 Toyota SR5 extended cab with the lift kit and extra "toys" could, PAY THE FREIGHT and find a reputable shop that regularly rebuilds Toyota motors!

For the "great unwashed" of the home mechanical world, you should talk about the process of testing cylinders for spark and performance by "grounding" (I inserrt the spring extentions between the cable boots and plugs and use a basic test light) the plugs to test for performance variances for the purpose of basic troubleshooting. That's just off of a lot of people's radar/experience. Also, as you mentioned spark plug observation and determining condition, please talk about the use of (solenoid) "noid lights" for determining injector performance. Once very expensive and really only available from the tool trucks, they're also now available from Harbor Freight at a home mechanic price range ($30-ish). How much is "a good amount" of oil in a cylinder for testing?? About a tablespoon, a little more. That's plenty. 😊

Thanks for this Tony. My compression test on the ski boat 350 showed zero compression on one cylinder. Blew compressed air into the spark plug hole and listened for where the air was coming out. Was coming out the left exhaust so a bent valve. Must have been when the timing chain broke - I fixed the timing chain but missed the bent valve. All fixed now and the boat runs much better on 8 cylinders rather than 7

My 1st gen Taco with 243,000 miles still getting 190-200 psi. Valve lash is still good, so plenty of life in the heads. When I first got the truck, it stank of gas and was hard starting when cold. Plugs were a bit sooty. So, I fired the parts cannon at it with a new set of injectors. Sent the throttle body off to a shop in Florida that mills the throttle bore and custom fits a new throttle plate for it. I smoked out the top of the motor and sorted out a number of vacuum leaks. Now she just purrs like a kitten with tremendous throttle response. Can't go wrong with the tried and true Toyota 5VZ-FE engine, free from all the unnecessary electro-gizmo stuff that is destined to break. And it's a non-interference motor so it's a breeze to change the timing belt and just all around is an easy engine to work on.

Installing a plug on a suspected adjacent cylinder leak-thru should confirm but if the valves on the adjacent cylinder are open due to cam timing then it won’t build any pressure still. You’d have to see rockers moving to know if that’s happening.

We used to use the thread-in compression tester hose, schrader valve core removed, and couple it to a shop air line. Bad intake valve, air coming thru carb. Bad exhaust valve, you could hear air at the tailpipe. Early 351 windsor vale guides were bad, burned exhaust valves were common. Especially after unleaded gas showed up.

Okay Tony, fantastic vid as usual but, per that, “…I mean, you don’t wanna fill up the entire cylinder with oil”, I kind of thought you might have elaborated a bit more on that point of when someone does a wet test after dry, to avoid any oils being too thick viscosity-wise, as liquids do not compress obviously but as well, every single drop of ANY liquid added within a compression chamber, WILL increase compression tests, due to displacement and, the thicker it is, the more likely that oil will NOT quickly travel to potential worn/damaged leak points, like rings, valve seats, cracks or, bad gaskets.. causing FALSE readings. This is why I’ve opted to just squirt a quick shot of basic ass WD-40 or the like, for wet test, into spark plug hole, as it’s way thin & will more likely quickly make its way to any possible leaking points. Also maybe should’ve discussed in brief, the benefits of folks also performing a “leak-down” test, after logging down dry/wet tests… otherwise, this vid is excellent info! Thank You!

Those AMC sixes always have a little bit of extra wear on cylinder 1 because it runs cold. It can help longevity to make sure that the thermostat is at least the stock temperature of 195° but it may be advisable to run a 205° thermostat to keep #1 up to temperature. I don’t let my 258s or 4.0s run cold. Also #6 is likely to be oily due to any bypass and the PVC system. On a carbureted engine the 2&5 usually run lean but 1&6 run rich. With fuel injection six might not benefit from the extra cooling.

I do what's called relative compression. Use an amp clamp on the battery cable. It draws a waveform on the screen. With an ignition input from a known cylinder there will be humps drawn on oscilloscope for each compression stroke. You can count each hump along with firing order to figure out which cylinder would be low on compression without taking a bolt or spark plug out of the engine. Takes about 10 minutes

Just something I noticed, I don’t feel you cranked the engine for the same amount of cycles on the first cylinder as you did the rest. If you listen for the compression pop on it, there is one less initially, and that may be the reason for the lower compression. When you re did it with the oil, you let it spin. Not saying that the rings aren’t worn, just that it may be inline with the others and will save you having to re-ring it. Either way, thanks for the info 👍🏼

It is interesting seeing your engine get lower in compression over time. When i bkught my 1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with a amc 360. It was 150 psi accross the board with 112k miles. It now has 160k and i checked recently. They were at 135 or so. So it deff has dropped. Still strong though. It towed 6400lbs (Jeep j10 and trailer)home 6 months ago. Not sure if a 15 psi drop after 40k miles is normal or not. Or normal for 160k miles on a carbureted amc 360. But i hear those engines get tired at 150-200k

For example don't stop at the first dead hole and think that's it, there may be more, the test needs to be completed. Of course I realize you're going to pull the head anyway but a novice could miss that point. I hope what I'm getting at makes sense, old pros know what's up and what we're planning on doing and it's easy to skip things when we're explaining.

The 99-2000 and maybe 2001 Tupee heads were known for cracking because of casting issues before the updated the head . You can pull off the oil fill cap of the head and with flashlight look directly into the hole and see which casting you have. Another possibility to alway consider until you check it out out , is the possibility someone installed one of the casting defective heads on a 4.0 from an earlier crack prone head and put it on a Jeep that originally came with the better head but it’s been replaced. On a positive side note I’ve only seen 2 of these crack prone heads actually crack and only when they’re yve been abused and severely neglected with owners who continued to drive them despite the engine overheating. One of my customers got a bright idea when his Jeep would over heat . He would simply find a water supply like a hose and spray the entire engine down with cold water to accelerate the cool down time so he then continue to drive as fast as possible before the head finally cracked

Can't really do it the same way on a rotary, if you don't remove the schrader valve from the tester you basically get the highest of the three rotor faces, not the actual numbers from each chamber. Learned that one a lonnnnng time ago when I was racing RX3's.

You should really check out a channel used to be called Dex Jeeps until Jeep told him he cant use Jeep in his name for some reason it is now called Just Dex It (seeing ow there are plenty others using jeep in their channel names), he is here also in TN has over 700 of those style jeeps. But he worked on a Comanche, took a few videos and the problem was crazy. I think you would like a lot of his channel and if you ever need any parts that's all he does besides play with these off road is he sells parts just for this style of Jeep.

Uncle Tony, test 5 and 6 to see if you need a ring job! Honestly, #1 low, #2 good, #3&4 unk, #5&6 unknown = ring job.

what if you want to test a motor thats been sitting for years do i simply crank the motor for a bit to get the oil on cylinders or should i poor a cap of oil down the spark plug hole and wait a day or will it skew my numbers?I understand the wet test bumps up compression numbers but will it still bump them up if i wait a day? i just dont want to crank a old sitting motor dry
