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?

Why do you have no compression in 3 cylinders of a 454?

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.


Why are Cylinders 2 and 3 not working but the spark is okay on 1989 Toyota Corolla coil and distributor with carburetor?

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.


Loud loss of pressure followed by loss of compression stalling and overheating and ticking equals what?

Blown head gasket, cracked head, busted piston, etc. Run a compression check on all cylinders.

Why does a Chevy 350 have low compression on adjacent cylinders?

If any two adjacent cylinders have low compression it's probably caused by a blown head gasket.


How can you tell if your engine has lost compression?

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.

What is the cylinder compression on a 1994 Isuzu trooper?

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.

What does it mean when a cars engine has no compression I was looking on craigslist for a car and I found one but the guy that is selling it said that the engine has no compression.?

do you seriously think that theres a hole in the piston in all the cylinders? or the rings are gone in all the cylinders.. highly unlikely.. the main cause of loss of compression is the rings are burnt gone. the rings are stuck, the valves are stuck, hole in the piston and/or head, bent valves, or the timing chain/belt came off, or broke. with all the cylinders being down, i'd look into the last one. that's the only thing that would be logical to effect all the cylinders evenly.
