- Check speed of engine, if compression does not reach standard pressure. If speed is normal, but compression is lower than standard value, disassemble and repair engine. If compression is more than standard value, but compression difference between each cylinder is more than 43 psi (3 kg/cm2 ), disassembling and repairing are required.
