In this video, we'll discuss two essential tests that every car owner should know about: the compression test and the leakdown test.

If your engine is running rough, it can be tough to figure out what's wrong. A compression test and a leakdown test are two tests that can help you diagnose the problem. These tests will help you determine if your engine is experiencing problems with its valves, pistons, or rings. You can also use them to inspect any engine that is new to you, even if it is not currently having problems.

A compression test measures the pressure in each cylinder during the compression stroke. By comparing the readings from each cylinder, you can determine if there is a problem with one or more of them. In this video, we'll show you how to run a compression test and what you should look for in the results.

A leakdown test measures the amount of air that leaks out of each cylinder when it's supposed to be sealed. This test will help you determine if there are any leaks in the engine's valves, pistons, or rings. We'll also show you how to run a leakdown test and what you should look for in the results.

By running these two tests, you can diagnose many common engine problems, including worn rings, damaged pistons, damaged valves, or cylinder head gasket problems. With the information you gather from these tests, you'll be better equipped to determine what's wrong with your engine and how to fix it.

So if you're experiencing engine problems, don't wait. Watch this video now to learn how to run a compression test and a leakdown test and get your engine running smoothly again!
