What to do if my Xtreme Power Engine has poor cylinder compression?
- JJason AustinAug 20, 2025
If your Xtreme Power Engine has poor cylinder compression, several factors could be the cause. A worn piston ring exceeding its wear limit requires replacement of the piston rings. Sticking piston rings need carbon fouling cleared. A broken piston ring also requires replacement. Ensure the spark plug is tightened with a gasket. Check for air leakage between the cylinder block and cylinder, inspecting the cylinder gasket and the flatness of the surface where the cylinder block contacts the cylinder head; tighten cylinder bolts to the specified torque. Lastly, check for air leakage in the valve, inspecting valve clearance and tightness, and repair if necessary.
