- Perform a cylinder compression test and cylinder leak down test using the standard leak down gauge following manufacturers suggested best practices. Refer to CYLINDER COMPRESSION TEST and CYLINDER LEAKAGE TEST .
- If one or more cylinders have more than 15% leak down further engine tear down and inspection will be required.
- If the compression is good it can be assumed the valve guide seals or valve guides are at fault.
