To test cylinder compression on a diesel engine, you'll need a compression gauge specifically designed for diesel engines. First, remove the glow plugs or injectors to access the combustion chamber. Then, insert the compression gauge into the cylinder, crank the engine for several revolutions, and record the pressure reading. Compare the results against the manufacturer's specifications to determine if the engine's compression is within acceptable limits.

What part should be removed to test cylinder compression on a diesel engine?
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.
