Re: What Is The Minimum Compression Ratio For A Diesel Engine To Operate

yeah... I hear you... it should! Hopefully they improved the pistons after the initial go around! A lot of people don't have issues....

Yeah, the Yanmar GM piston problems are well documented on CF. My mechanic didn't even need a compression test to know one piston was cracked on mine! The previous two kept wanting to do the valves.

Yeah, not only pull the injectors, but have an adaptor made, cant get a good reading on diesel compression just hand holding the gauge in the hole.

My Perkins 4-236 with less than 500 hours on it was about 340-345 PSI.... all cylinders.
