What unit of measure can be used when testing engine compression and cylinder leakage?

When testing engine compression and cylinder leakage, the unit of measure commonly used is pounds per square inch (psi). Compression tests typically measure the pressure generated within each cylinder when the engine is cranked, while cylinder leakage tests quantify the amount of air escaping from the cylinder under pressure. Both measurements help assess the engine's health and efficiency.

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.

Compare the results against the manufacturer's specifications to determine if the engine's compression is within acceptable limits.
