You will need a another person to help you do this.
Remove #1 spark plug and get someone to bump the engine over alittle at a time while you hold your finger over the #1 plug hole and as soon as you fill it blowing out compression from under your finger and it stops, Then #1 piston will be at TDC. TOP DEAD CENTER. You may have to bump the engine over a few times to get the feel of it.
When #1 is at TDC then the timing mark on the harmonic balancer will be lined up with zero on the timing tab on cover.
Do a compression test.
from what i know there is no difference in what piston loses compression based on the layout. a piston loses compression due to faulty valves/seats/stems or damaged piston rings. if you have low compression problems, check the above, in that order
The piston is on the up stroke to compress so both valves are closed
In theory, the answer is no. Even as a Vale fan, I know that the Stoke City are better than us. Stoke are in the premier league and Vale are in League one, However, Stoke is in the Premier League. From these facts, we can tell that Stoke are better than Vale.
It's technically is in Stoke-on-Trent, but many people know as it being in the Staffordshire Moorlands.
Worn piston rings will cause your car to burn oil. It will smoke, and you'll have to add oil frequently. Additionally, the performance will fall off as compression is lost past the worn rings. There may be a "slapping" sound as the piston skirts slap the cylinder walls, and this will occur in cases of advanced ring wear.
yes carmount side is the best primary school in stoke on Trent i should know i used to go there
Line up the timing marks, install new chain and gears, then do a compression test. If you have some cylinders with no compression, the push rods and maybe some valves are bent. There may be some piston damage done also. Good luck.
Find the # 1 cylinder. Remove all spark plugs, turn the engine over (BY HAND, DO NOT USE THE STARTER) until the # 1 piston is at the very top on the compression stroke. You now have TDC. Placing your finger over the spark plug hole will tell you when you are on the compression stroke. A long handle screwdriver inserted in the # 1 cylinder, will tell you when the piston is at the top. Caution: Turn the engine by hand, never with the starter.
There is no possible way to answer that question based on just PSI. Try googling compression ratio calculator. Once opening the first result you will need to enter your engine specifications to find out the answer. You will need to know the bore, stroke, gasket thickness, size of the combustion chamber and specs of the piston head to get an accurate answer. If you have a unmodified engine then it may be easier to search google and wikipedia for your specific engine to find the results.
Usually, but there are some model years where both dots are at the top of the sprockets when #1 is up for compression. You'll know right away when you start adjusting the valves because when you finish #1 and move on to the next it won't adjust right.
it will slightly open 1 exhaust valve and there is a small chance of piston contact, u will notice this as u will sure hear it or u will drop a valve and boom , u know the rest
