Yes. That is a true statement.
Loss of compression is caused by bad internal engine wear or internal engine failure. Both mean the engine will need serious repair
A spark ignition engine is a gasoline engine. A compression ignition is a diesel engine.basic difference between compression and spark ignition engine is ,compression ignition is a diesel engine. spark ignition is a gasoline engine.diesel engines compress the fuel to a point where the fuel explodes, thus giving ignitiongasoline does not compress to explosion, therefore it needs need a spark to ignite the fuelspark ign. is gasoline. comp. ign. is diesel.A compression ignition engine is typically a diesel. It compresses air so much that the heat from the compression is enough to cause the fuel to ignited once injected. A spark ignition engine is your average gasoline-burning car engine. It uses a spark plug to ignite the air/fuel mixture instead of relying on compretssion ignition.A compression ignition engine uses very high compression of the air to heat it self up and the fuel is injected into the cylinder which self ignites (a diesel engine is a compression ignition engine).A spark ignition engine uses a lower compression ratio and requires the use of a spark to ignite the fuel (a petrol engine is a spark ignition engine).Because the oils used for a diesel have a higher calorific value, they have a better fuel economy, They also do not need extra energy usage to keep the engine running, unlike the energy that is lost to power the spark plugs from the generator/alternator which is taken from the useful energy produced by the engine.
A diesel engine requires at least a 20:1 compression ratio, or about double a gasoline engine. The PSI this translates to depends on the size of the cylinder. You will need to consult the manufacturer's service manual.
AGE ! if it is low compression and not no compression then your piston rings and valves are worn too much and the engine probably needs to be rebuilt.
You are burning coolant. What vehicle? did you do a compression test?

Typical gasoline engine compression pressure ranges from about 120 to 200 psi (pounds per square inch), depending on the engine's design and its state of tune. Higher-performance engines may achieve pressures above 200 psi, while older or lower-compression engines might be on the lower end of the scale. Factors such as engine displacement, combustion chamber design, and compression ratio all influence these values. Regular maintenance can also affect compression pressure, impacting engine performance.
The Isuzu 2.3L 4ZD1 engine has a compression ratio of approximately 9.2:1. This compression ratio is typical for a gasoline engine of its size, providing a balance between power output and fuel efficiency.
The four strokes of an automotive engine are the intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke, and exhaust stroke. During the intake stroke, the engine draws in air and fuel. The compression stroke compresses this mixture, increasing its temperature and pressure. The power stroke follows, where the compressed mixture is ignited, causing a controlled explosion that drives the piston down, and finally, the exhaust stroke expels the burnt gases from the cylinder.
Normal compression on a gasoline engine is about 125 psi.
No, The compression test is done as the starter cranks the engine
