Most likely it's caused by a damaged head gasket when the head warped. Has the engine overheated at any time in the last few thousand miles?
No compression in three cylinders of a 454 engine can be attributed to several potential issues. Common causes include a blown head gasket, damaged piston rings, or burnt valves, all of which can lead to loss of sealing and pressure. Additionally, a cracked engine block or cylinder head could also result in a loss of compression in those cylinders. Diagnosing the specific issue would typically require a compression test and further inspection of the engine components.
This sounds like your head gasket has blownbetween cylinders 2 & 3.this will cause a compression loss on the affected cylinders.you need to have a compression test carried out on your engine.AnotherIf you're CERTAIN that the spark is good and it's timed properly, next I'd check the compression in those two cylinders. It's suspicious to me that the two non-functional cylinders are adjacent. If the engine has overheated any time in the last year you have probably warped the head. A simple compression test will tell the story.
Blown head gasket, cracked head, busted piston, etc. Run a compression check on all cylinders.
Check the spark plugs and wires Do a compression test
If any two adjacent cylinders have low compression it's probably caused by a blown head gasket.
You can check for lost compression in your engine by conducting a compression test, which measures the pressure in each cylinder. If one or more cylinders show significantly lower readings than the others, it indicates a compression loss. Additionally, symptoms like rough idling, reduced power, excessive exhaust smoke, or unusual noises can also suggest compression issues. Finally, a leak-down test can help pinpoint the source of the compression loss.
The compression on the cylinders of a 2001 Holden Rodeo diesel 2.8lt is not stated. It is stated that the 2001 Holden Rodeo diesel 2.8lt has a high compression g200z motor.
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.
it depends if you have a 305 or 305ho , 305 8:1 compression cupped cylinders 305ho has 9:1 compression with valve cut pistons
If you have no compression in all 4 cylinders your timing belt is broke.
It depends on equal compression between all cylinders.
Low compression in cylinders 2 and 3 can result from several issues, including worn piston rings, damaged cylinder walls, or leaking valves. Additionally, a blown head gasket can allow coolant or oil to enter the combustion chamber, leading to reduced compression. A vacuum leak or timing issues may also contribute to low compression in specific cylinders. Performing a compression test and a leak-down test can help identify the exact cause.
