Sagot :
The causes of low compression in an engine cylinder and leakage past the exhaust can be identified by performing mechanical tests on the engine
The correct technician is Tech B; Blown head gasket would generally leak past the exhaust valve
The reason for arriving at the above selection is as follows:
A cylinder leakage test is generally performed after there is an indication of low compression from one or more cylinders. The test allows the identification of the part of the cylinder that is leaking.
The cylinder that shows sign of low compression is often the location that the cylinder leakage test is performed, although, the test can be performed on every cylinder
A cylinder leakage test is valid only when
- The temperature of engine is about the temperature range of the engine in operation
- The cylinder under test is at the Top Dead Center (TDC) position, such that the position of the piston in the cylinder is at the top or highest point of its stroke
Therefore, the positioning of the piston in the bottom dead center during a leakage test as mentioned by Tech A is not correct
The route of coolant in the engine are sealed by the cylinder head gasket, where there is a blown head gasket, the coolant will be allowed to leak into the cylinders and into the exhaust, causing white smoke and sweet odor of antifreeze
Therefore, Tech B is correct, coolant leakage into the exhaust is an indication of a blown head gasket
