In this video, we show you how to perform a compression test on your motor. The compression test was done on a Toyota 5VZ-FE 3.4 Liter V6 Engine but the procedure we share with you would be the same for any engine. You disable the ignition system, make sure you have no fuel going into the cylinders by either removing power to the fuel pump or using the Clear 'Flood Mode we show in the video, remove all the spark plugs, and then you're ready to start testing your cylinders with a compression gauge.
At the time of this compression test, my engine had 170,000 miles. I know the previous owner took very good mechanical care of the vehicle and I've taken very good care of it as well over the last 4 years I've owned it. It's nice to see confirmation that the engine looks really healthy and will hopefully last for a very long time to come.
