What happens if your valve oil seals wear on a car engine?
Oil leakage and loss of compression and power loss.
What is loose compression?
Loss of compression is caused by bad internal engine wear or internal engine failure. Both mean the engine will need serious repair
How do you get compression back in an rx 7?
If you have loss of compression then a full rebuild of the engine is most likely needed.
Where is the compression stroke located on a 1997 dodge ram 2500?
The compression stroke is not part of the engine. It is what happens when the pistons are on the upward with closed valves.See link below.The compression stroke is not part of the engine. It is what happens when the pistons are on the upward with closed valves.See link below.
What happens when diesel fuel is placed in a gasoline tractor engine?
It won't run, that's for sure. Diesel is ignited by compression pressure, not by spark. And the compression in a gasoline engine is not sufficient to ignite the diesel.
What happens when oil is mixed with oxygen under pressure?
If the compression is high enough you get a diesel engine.
What are signs of broken ring in v8 engine?
Oil burning or loss of compression on any one cylinder. It may also be missing on one cylinder. A compression test will verify this.
Can low compression on an engine damage a engine?
Low compression indicates that engine damage already exists. An engine's compression will be lost if: there is damage or wear to the pistons or rings there is damage or wear to the valve train there is damage or loss of seal on the cylinder head There are some other factors as well, but these three cover most.

How do you tell if piston rings are bad?
The engine will be losing compression, and possibly burning oil. Check each cylinder to determine the compression. The loss could also be caused by a valve problem.
Can peeing in a gas tank or on an engine cause lost engine compression?
Into the gas tank; no. Any volume of fluid being poured directly into the combustion chamber of the engine can cause the destruction of the pistons, which will lead to compression loss (among other more severe side effects).
Is burning engine oil bad for your engine?
it is bad for the catalytic converter and O2 sensor. It is also bad for the environment. Your engine also has less power due to the worn rings and loss of compression.
Burned valve symptoms?
Engine miss, poor fuel economy, loss of power, and low compression on the cylinder with the burnt valve.
