Compression Testing a Diesel Engine | Perkins 4 Cylinder Diesel

[@SeidelRanch]

This tool kit worked great. Some do not have the pressure switch that is needed to keep the pressure in the gauge. This kit does: amzn.to/3tOKZD3 👍

I have never done a compression test, but after watching this it seems pretty easy. You make the task less intimidating. I like that.

[@SeidelRanch]

I try. That is why I started making these videos. To make it easy for everyone that wants to try.

[@ryszardjacekrusniak7993]

The best instructions and a fine tester. Thank you.

[@SeidelRanch]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Formula1-Dave]

Best video about diesel compression test yet. Thank you.

[@Formula1-Dave]

May you please do a video about pump timing and checking vaccum and pressure of the lift pump

[@SeidelRanch]

Glad you liked it! Thank you for the great feedback.

[@SeidelRanch]

I need to do some work on my John Deere 450c engine. I will see if I can get those made from that.

[@dennishampton1545]

Got my kit today..looks good ..will try it tomorrow!!!

[@SeidelRanch]

Hope you like it!

[@FourthWayRanch]

Has anyone been able to use the HF tester on old perkins 4.236? No threads on injector...

[@ApacheRanch]

Great kit for the money!

[@SeidelRanch]

Yeah, it's a pretty good kit. Comes with everything you need. It worked out well.

[@munkeyrider]

I have fhe the same engine and its losing power under load. It runs fine when its not loaded. It starts fine. Im going to try injectors. What symptoms does your engine have ?

[@SeidelRanch]

Mine would do the same. Sounded great and checked out fine compression wise, but ended up being an injector pump and injectors. I sold the tractor too.

[@michiganloader795]

Hola. Excelente video. Cual seria el rango de compresión normal para un perkins t6354?

[@SeidelRanch]

Thank you.

[@JS-ri2rx]

Just got mine today. No instructions so half the items I've no idea where they're fkr

[@SeidelRanch]

Yeah, got to love those kits with no info or info you can't read.

[@tiago10alves10]

Can I use a diesel kit for petrol ?

[@SeidelRanch]

Yes, it should still work. The pressure reading will be much lower than diesel but the kit should still do the job.

[@tiago10alves10]

@@SeidelRanch probably just the attachment different?

[@SeidelRanch]

@@tiago10alves10 The diesel kit comes with many different adapters for injectors and glow plugs. I think I remember that one of the adaptors fit spark plug holes too but I am not 100% sure.

[@maaseace]

What is spec. and should you do wet test?

[@SeidelRanch]

I am not sure what spec is on this machine and it will vary on different engines. I do usually disconnect the injectors.

[@terrellscaife2411]

So are you going to overhaul the engine

[@SeidelRanch]

No, the engine is good. It's a fuel injection pump issue. Going to replace it.

[@terrellscaife2411]

Hey I really appreciate you making this video i’ve picked up the PT tools W89735 and I’m in the process of getting the MATCO DCT15

[@SeidelRanch]

@@terrellscaife2411 Thanks. Glad it was helpful. Are you having similar issues?
