    What's the allowable compression of a 4D56TDIC engine?

    My readings ranges from 345 to 355 psi. Is it good or bad?

    4d56 cylinder compression pressure

    Min= 1,920 kPa x 0.145 = 278.4psi

    Max variation= 300kPa x 0.145 = 43.5psi

    adding both psi values gives you 321.9 psi

    according to pajero expert jgatutubo your readings are ok

    take note values are for 4d56 only

    there are other factors you may want to look at when you do a compression check so you know mechanical condition of upper end (pistons, rings, valves, head gaskets) of your engine

    sepcifically if compression is down due to leakage caused by worn rings, defective valves or seatsor a blown head gasket.

    NOTE: engine must be at normal operating temp and batt must be fully charged for this check...

    Thank you rlp.

    At least I know that my engine is healthy.

    My next move is to replace the air and fuel filter and calibrate the fuel system.
