How well the combustion chambers hold pressure. It's a good indication of overall engine wear and condition.
To test cylinder compression on a diesel engine, the glow plugs or injectors should be removed. This allows access to the combustion chamber for the compression test gauge. Removing these components ensures that the engine can turn over freely without interference during the test.

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.
Have a compression test run on the engine.
When a Hyundai is losing compression in its engine the car will not run properly. Symptoms of low compression are misfires, stalls, and overheating.
it is hard to state when is the right time to rebuild or replace a veh engine .but here is the best answer to my knowlege you would have to find info on your veh engine spec's have a known good mechanic performe a manual compression test and determing if veh has low compression then you can rely on this for your sence if to replace or not ,..
