Hello everyone, today we will be doing a compression test of a 7.3 IHI/Ford diesel engine in my 91 F350 4x4 RC truck. AKA White Rhino!
NO HATERS please remote starter switch, comp test kit (TU-15-53) as seen here http://www.toolsource.com/diesel-compression-test-p-95945.html and some 1/4" drive sockets and extensions etc for removing GP's and installing comp tester adapters, also note pad for recording the test data!
Now prepping for comp test, start by removal of air cleaner and GP's wires
Here I"m indicating a GP with bullet connector removed
Fuel stop solenoid wire that MUST be disconnected
FOR SAFETY SAKE AND SO I AM COMFORTABLE, I elected to disconnect the FSS others may not this however is my choice and this is my thread!
Hard to see but now FSS is disconnected
On my starter solenoid this is the wire to disconnect for the remote switch to be used
connect the remote starter switch to BAT +
I'm using a Magnetic tray to hold GP's
GP 1-7 on Left 2-8 on Right
cyl 4 & 6 look damp here pointing to #4
close up 1-7
Close up 2-8
I've got video coming as well so stay tuned for more to come!
Thanks for looking
Al
