What causes an engine to lose compression?
Low Compression usually means that the cylinder rings are worn. You should also do a leak down of each cylinder. That will pinpoint which cylinder/s are bad. Also,possible poor seating of valves or improper valve seat contact.
What makes a compression wave?
compression wave is a wave like a sound wave
What is the ability of a material to withstand compression called?
I believe that it would be density. The more dense a sample is the more compact the molecules are. The description of compression is to reduce by volume, so the ability to withstand compression would be the lack of room to do the compression. Can anyone add to this?
Are normal and reverse faults caused by compression?
Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.
What is a remedy of the engine if it is loose of compression?
If engine is losing compression it is likely the rings are worn and need replacing. The valves are likely leaking too and need replacing.
Why would a motor loose compression in a 5th cylinder when it is a 6 cylinder?
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

Why is white smoke coming out of the car's exhaust?
First, check your engine oil level- if the level reduces at agiven time-problem is that you have a loose compression. The white smoke is the product of combustion of air, gasoline, and engine oil due to the excessive wear on the engine's piston rings. Second, to confirm if you have a loose compression, go to your mechanic and ask for a compression test.
Would a blown head gasket cause loss of compression?
It is possible but it depends on where the crack is. If the crack is from the combustion chamber out, such as through a coolant passage it can also suck in coolant/antifreeze and loose compression.
What is wrong if there is no compression in a engine?

What causes in 1999 Isuzu Rodeo with V6 to loose compression?
Usually, the biggest cause of a loss in compression is either worn or cracked piston rings, and the only way to restore the compression is by replacing them. Another cause would be a damaged or stuck valve, again you'd have to replace it to remedy the problem.
Would a loose manifold cause problems?
Absolutely, the manifold must seal to contain the compression the engine generates when the spark ignites the gasoline.
Would loose spark plugs result in trouble starting the car?
Loose spark plugs would result in a loss of compression. This would make starting difficult and if the engine ran at all it would do so badly.
Is it advisable to rebuild the engine of Yamaha RS 100T loose compression motorcycle?

What does a damaged spark plug do tp a engine?
Depends on how it is damaged. if the electrode is bad then your engine will run rough. If the porcelain is cracked you could loose compression. it just depends.
