How to Check Cylinder Pressure?

[McJuniper]

Checking cylinder pressure involves the following steps: 1. Install a cylinder pressure gauge on the engine; 2. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature, maintaining coolant temperature around 90 degrees; 3. Remove all spark plugs or fuel injectors from the vehicle; 4. Fully depress the accelerator to open the throttle completely; 5. Screw the threaded adapter into the spark plug hole; 6. Use the starter for about two seconds until the gauge stabilizes, then read the pressure value. Press the one-way valve button to release pressure and reset the gauge. The cylinder consists of components like the cylinder barrel, end cover, piston, piston rod, and seals, serving to isolate the turbine's flow path from the atmosphere and ensuring steam completes its work cycle within the turbine.
