Water in oil perfect compression does not overheat what is the problem?
A Cracked cylinder head, or engine block. Or a blown cylinder head gasket.
Your 4 cylinder is misfiring what do you do to fix the problem?
First thing to do is replace the plugs and wires if you have not done so. It you have or if replacing them does not fix the problem then have a compression test run.
What is a compression tester used for and how is it constructed?
The most common use for a compression tester would be to check the compression in the cylinder of an engine. It will tell you whether there is a problem with your rings, blown head gasket, or perhaps a cracked cylinder head. Older compression testers use a diaphragm or spring for resistance to measure the pressure, but there may be newer ones that are constructed differently.
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.

Why does only one cylinder have no compression on my Chevy 355?
Could be a valve problem or a broken ring. Probably have to take it apart to find out.
What will cause no cylinder compression?
A cracked or broken piston will cause a loss of compression, as will cracked or broken rings. The failure of a head gasket will also cause a loss of compression, as will broken, cracked or badly worn valves or valve seats. A crack in the cylinder itself (either the sleeve or the engine block), or a crack in the head itself will cause a loss of compression. A problem with the plug threads or the threads in the head (for engines that have plugs) can cause loss of compression, and injectors (for engines that have them) can leak around the threads, either because the injector threads or the threads in the head have been damaged.
Should you have low compression after a head gasket change?
No, quite the opposite- the idea of gaskets is to ensure that an engine gives HIGH compression. If your car has just had a cylinder head gasket change and you are STILL getting low compression, then this suggests that the problem lies with the cylinder head itself- it may be cracked. Unfortunately there's no effective repair for this, the only solution is to get a new cylinder head I'm afraid.
Why is oil coming out the top of car engine?
The main reason oil comes out of the top of an engine is pressure being built up in the crank case. This is because of bad rings that don't keep the compression inside the cylinder where it belongs. Try doing a compression check on each cylinder and you will find which cylinder is causing your problem. If you remove the oil filler cap and you have a lot of pressure and oil spray you can bet this is your problem.
Why won't your 88 chevy s10 v6 cylinder fire even though the plug and wire has been tested and is good?
Do a compression test on all the cylinders. You may find a mechanical problem with that dead cylinder.
When does an engine need to be rebuilt?
The easiest answer is when it fails a compression test. Buy a compression tester (farily cheap), and test each cylinder. If one single cylinder is below 120 psi, or if one cylinder reads 15% less pressure than the cylinder with the highest pressure, your engine should be torn down and checked. The problem might only be in the heads, but it's still time for some serious work.
What is the cylinder compression on a 1994 Isuzu trooper?
I'm not sure of the exact values; they should be in your Haynes repair manual. However, if you compression test all of the cylinders and find one that is lower you have a compression problem with that cylinder. It is also possible to have 2 that are lower, this would most likely indicate a warp in the head between those two cylinders. Other causes for compression loss are damaged or gunked up valves that do not close all the way or a crack in the head.
