Definitely a great vid mate, though you might confuse some people about when and what causes combustion in a diesel engine, great explanation other then stating that air "and fuel" enter the combustion chamber via the Inlet port and valve, you also said that eventually the compression causes combustion, while almost true you should mention that the point of combustion is actually controlled through injection timing and that only air is introduced through the inlet port and valves in a diesel, just seems important to mention is all, not having a go by any means, cheers
Really informative video. My mates car is burning oil from cyclinder 1. I suspect vlve seal. Other mechanics have said low compression. This helps alot.
While a compression test will tell you the general health of a cylinder's seal, if it's not great, it won't be able to tell you where the issue possibly is, that's the job of a leak down tester.
That was sick! (Is that the term that is used these days or I am of touch - again?). Hmm, sounds like a series on tracking down compression related issues is warranted. Tackle the basics - where can cylinder compression leaks occur and how to test for each possibility and then, perhaps, an indication of which are exceedingly rare. I'm running an 4JX1, so not *all* your viewers are interested specifically in Toyotas :), so it would be general diesel info.
Hey, I've got an Isuzu, Mazda Suzuki and a Toyota in the driveway! I just like cars/bikes/planes, anything with an engine! There is more diesel related episodes in the pipeline!
This was so friggin informative man. I completely understood everything ypu said and I find it difficult to tie my shoelaces 🤣. Instantly subscribed and will watch the rest. 🏆
@@LockyourHubs4WDing that sucks. I have a FTE which has blow by a fair amount with white puffs... Stressing out for when I take it in... Is what it is... Thanks again.
Great video mate, what lead you to check the compression, any smoke, rough idle or oil use? I have a similar issue, well think I do/did, two mechanics gave me different results. One was 180 and the other 520 was my happy 400k birthday surprise which I also had the valves check at the same time. No smoke, no oil usage, no rough idle and no blow by. Be keen to see the leakdown test.
The 80 was filling up the catch can a lot more than usual and when cold was a little rough at idle. While we haven't pulled the head off yet, I'm hoping it's only a head gasket and not a hole in the piston! Looks like we'll have to record the leakdown test as well.
Great video! I'm about to compression test a relatives single cylinder diesel gen (no glow plug) once a mail order tester arrives (same kit as the video). Will the wet test give an indication of dodgy valves? I suspect the starting problem is excessive side to side play on the exhaust rocker, or even a damaged valve (the valves were tight tight tight when I adjusted them the other day as part of the annual service). The engine started and ran fine until I put on the recommended clearances. Since, then, nada. I'm reluctant to go back to tight tight tight because it could be masking a bigger issue. I've got the same engine type and valve specs as the faulty gen and mine runs sweet as a nut. Cheers.

@@LockyourHubs4WDing Thanks - I looked earlier, only skipped through the video - they sell testers here for under $20 US each for compression and leak tester kits. I may as well splash out because I'm in for the long haul with diesels, I love'em. Noisy buggers but I've got a phobia about storing petrol at home. I'm in the Philippines, out in the sticks, and last year during the rainy season our town was cut off from road supplies for almost a month due to land slides - the road literally washed off a mountain. You could not get gasoline for a good fortnight unless you got someone to go out on a motorbike to get you a can or two. But diesel wasn't a problem, I'd say I'm one of only 10% or so who drives a diesel here. And they seem to last forever if you look after them, eg regular oil changes. Thanks for the quick response.
@@LockyourHubs4WDing Many thanks for your input. I got it fixed, valve clearances. The rockers were not sitting properly on their shaft, they were laterally displaced from the central position by maybe 5mm - that was where they were resting when I first lifted the cover. I've got a bigger version of the same generator, brand new, so I lifted the cover on that and the rockers had virtually no side to side play and were sitting right in the middle, not towards the sides. So I re-adjusted the little 'un, ensuring the rockers were centralised as I checked the clearances. She started first time on the electric and the recoil. Phew! Thanks again.
@@Ghostrider-71 depends on the emissions setup in your neck of the woods. If it has EGR, then definitely yes, just make sure the catch can you choose can flow enough for the engine.
The location of the glow plug is dependant in the head design and whether the diesel is a indirect injection (like a 1HZ) or direct injection (like the engine tested a 1HD-T). In an indirect injection engine the glow plug is usually in the precombustion chamber, in a direct injection engine it'll be in the combustion chamber itself. The purpose of the glow plug is to help start a cold engine.

This process is not the same for the 1HD-FT or 1HD-FTE as they do not have glow plugs.. the only way to test compression is to pull the injectors and use a special tester.
@@LockyourHubs4WDing many thanks.... I mean does it need to be tdc for checking a suspected head gasket? With this its pretty random but once pressure is reached watch the gauge go down ? Is that correct? Thanks

Hey mate, what compression tester kit is this? Finding it hard to find the right kit for a 1hdt glow plug size
That was a custom adaptor made by enzed.
a great explanation but can you also include in the diagram where the glow plug is in relation to piston and cylinder? and what does it do?
The location of the glow plug is dependant in the head design and whether the diesel is a indirect injection (like a 1HZ) or direct injection (like the engine tested a 1HD-T).
In an indirect injection engine the glow plug is usually in the precombustion chamber, in a direct injection engine it'll be in the combustion chamber itself.
The purpose of the glow plug is to help start a cold engine.
