I know one should do a Compression Test and once it gets below around 100PSi, start planning to replace the rings.
The compression Tester I have is not the proper one for the Bikes. It has the none return valve at the gauge side and not on the plug fitting thread side which means the readings will always be lower.
My 3 Blasters measured 100, 104 and 116 Psi respectively, with the lowest reading bike performs the best lol.
Is it a good thing to pull the head off to inspect the piston and rings? I would suspect that one will look for movement sidewise. What else?
Until I manage to get the right Compression Tester I am contemplating this on the bikes. I like being preventative but no use I do the job and it is in vane.
Any advice, pointers?
