What is the usage method of a cylinder pressure gauge?
1 Answers
Cylinder pressure gauge detects cylinder pressure as follows: 1. Run the engine until it reaches normal temperature, with water-cooled engines at 75-95°C; 2. Remove all spark plugs or injectors for diesel engines; 3. Set throttle and choke valves to fully open position; 4. Press the conical rubber adapter of the cylinder pressure gauge tightly into the spark plug hole of the tested cylinder, or screw the threaded adapter into the spark plug hole; 5. Use the starter to rotate the crankshaft for 3-5 seconds, read the stabilized gauge reading, then press the one-way valve to reset the pointer. Each cylinder should be measured at least twice; 6. Test each cylinder sequentially following the above method.
