Hello all! I read in a previous post that if the engine is not turning
over evenly and smoothly that this indicates a loss of compression in one or more cylinders. Well, my poor car is indeed turning over unevenly now. So I am guessing I need to do a compression check. Anyone
have any handy advise? I understand that I need to get a gauge that can
handle the high compression of the diesel and that I need to come up with some sort of adapter so I can utilize the holes for the glow plugs. What are the most common causes of an immediate loss of compression? If it is a bent valve how hard are they to replace? I hope
it is not a hole in a cylinder or something really bad. I think I need
to just order the shop book on the car. As always thanks in advance for
any advise, this forum is great! Kelly
