    The document provides instructions for testing cylinder compression on a C7.1 generator set engine. It states that the compression test should only be used to compare cylinders and that a difference of more than 350 kPa between cylinders may require repair. It lists preparation steps like ensuring a charged battery and disconnected fuel supply. The procedure involves removing glow plugs, installing a compression gauge, and cranking the engine to measure pressure in each cylinder. Other tests besides compression should be used to fully evaluate the engine condition.

    Compression - Test
    SMCS - 1215

    The cylinder compression test should only be used in order to compare the cylinders of an engine. If one or more
    cylinders vary by more than 350 kPa (51 psi), the cylinder and related components may need to be repaired.

    A compression test should not be the only method which is used to determine the condition of an engine. Other tests
    should also be conducted in order to determine if the adjustment or the replacement of components is required.

    Before the performance of the compression test, make sure that the following conditions exist:

    The battery is in good condition.

    The battery is fully charged.

    The starting motor operates correctly.

    The valve lash is set correctly.

    All glow plugs are removed.

    The fuel supply is disconnected.

    Typical example

    1. Remove the glow plug (1). Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Glow Plugs - Remove and Install" for the
    correct procedure.

    2. Install a suitable gauge for measuring the cylinder compression in the hole for the glow plug.

    3. Remove the fuse for the glow plugs.

    4. Operate the starting motor in order to turn the engine. Record the maximum pressure which is indicated on the
    compression gauge.

    5. Repeat Steps 6 and 4 for all cylinders.

    6. Install the fuse for the glow plugs.
