A compression test is a fundamental diagnostic procedure used to assess the health and performance of an engine’s internal components. By measuring the compression in each cylinder, we can identify issues such as worn piston rings, valve problems, or head gasket leaks. At Henrich Automotive Solutions, we offer thorough and accurate compression testing to diagnose and address engine-related issues effectively.
A compression test is an essential part of engine diagnostics and maintenance for several reasons:
Identifying Engine Health: It provides valuable insights into the condition of your engine, helping to detect problems early and prevent major issues.
Diagnosing Performance Problems: If your engine is experiencing issues like misfires, poor performance, or excessive oil consumption, a compression test can pinpoint the cause.
Preventive Maintenance: Regular compression testing can catch problems before they become severe, ensuring the longevity of your engine.
