Technician A says that a compression test can be used to test the condition of connecting rods. Technician B says that a cylinder leakage test fills the cylinder with compressed air, and the gauge indicates the percentage of leakage. Who is right?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician B is correct because a cylinder leakage test does indeed fill the cylinder with compressed air and measures the percentage of leakage, which can help identify issues with valves, piston rings, and the cylinder head. Technician A is incorrect because a compression test primarily evaluates the cylinder's ability to hold pressure and is not specifically used to test the condition of connecting rods.
