The Toffinator Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 You worry far to much alex! Lol There mint results Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Spot on results, did you remove all four sparkplugs and have throttle fully open. I like to see compression jump to 65_70psi on the first turn then build quickly from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Very good results! What's the mileage on the engine if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like to see compression jump to 65_70psi on the first turn then build quickly from there.Hi mate, I just removed one plug at a time as the instructions told me to, will that still be accurate?Was done on a warm engine with efi fuse and king lead removed and throttle open.The mileage on the engine is roughly 70k miles mate serviced just before every 3000 miles since I've had it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Edit: just googled it apparently still accurate results with te other plugs in just puts more work on the battery...oh well it's a new batt lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Great results I'm hoping to compression test mine before fitting the td04 but I'm scared of the results lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Great results I'm hoping to compression test mine before fitting the td04 but I'm scared of the results lolI was like that it will be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sefton-EP91 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 When doing a compression test is it ok to just remove the king lead to disable ignition? If the fuse also HAS to be removed where is this situated? I am planning on doing a com test this week Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletburkie Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 as long as the engine runs fine without smoke or excessive oil consumption then it will be ok for a td04, all engines I've comp tested have bein 150psi even Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am planning on doing a com test this week yes on the king lead and its the efi fuse in the fuse box at passenger wing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sefton-EP91 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Thanks will be doing this at some point this week. Doesn't use any oil or smoke so I assume it will be fine, I'm not planning on td04 setup either just a health check. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
