Stock compression on a D16Z6 engine is around 9.2:1. This means that for every 9.2 units of air and fuel mixture that enter the cylinder, they are compressed into 1 unit of volume before ignition. This compression ratio is important for determining the engine's performance and efficiency.
No, every Tahoe produced has been powered by a V8. Not true the 4.1 liter inline 6 cylinder was installed in the Tahoe/Yukon is some countries but not in the U.S.
Remove all the spark plugs and run a compression test on every cylinder. A misfire can be caused by a burnt valve, cracked head, or blown head gasket. A compression test will eliminate any of these possibilities. If you find a cylinder with low compression, then it may be time to open it up and find out what is going on. If you have a sweet smell at the exhaust, air bubbles coming from the radiator, loss of coolant with no apparent leak, or coolant in the oil, these are all symptoms of a blown head gasket or cracked head.
Well, that depends on how much it is ridden. Or if it is raced? My son's Blaster for racing we rebuild it as needed. At end of every season.
it's better to base this on a pattern of compresion tests, sound of the engine, feel of the performance. most manufacturers recommended rebuild schedules are way too frequent. i don't think ktm had a recomendation on this. if you are doing a compresion check after every ride the time to rebuild would be when the rate of compression decline takes a more sudden dip.
yes in short the metal contracts when it is cold thus giving you less compression, that or it has scratches through the cylinder sleeve or it could be a bad ring but if its the whole engine not just one cylinder its the cold u just need to let it warm up more
Open the engine and change the rings, valves, valve seats or pistons in the one with no compression. Or, try synthetic motor oil, it doesn't burn as quickly.
No. Do it every other day so you can give time for your muscles to restore and rebuild.
A cylinder and a cone are 2 different things, so no.
they didnt make one after 100,000miles it should be check every 20 to 30 thousand miles id say
There are 2 completely flat sides on every cylinder.
Chevy in every class of vehicle by far.
