Cylinder compression, checking
A compression gauge is needed to make a compression test.
For accurate test, the battery and starter must be capable of
cranking the engine at least
300 rpm, and the engine should
be at normal operating temperature.
NOTE-
Performing a compression test may cause a fault to set in the
ECM and may illuminate the Malfunction
Indicator Light
(MIL). The light can only be turned out using either
BMW
special service scan tools or an equivalent aftermarket scan
tool. Disconnecting the battery will not erase the fault memo-
ry or turn out the light. See OBD On-Board Diagnostics.

[cylinder Head Removal and Installation 1
Cylinder leak-down test
The most conclusive diagnosis of low compression symp-
toms requires a cylinder leak-down test. Using a special
tester and compressed air, each cylinder, in turn, is pressur-
ized. The rate at which the air leaks out of the cylinder, as well
as where the air leaks out, can accurately pinpoint the magni-
tude and location of the leakage.
Before attempting any repair that requires major engine dis-
assembly, use a leak-down test to confirm low compression.

~NSTALLATION (M52 ENGINE)
WARNING-
Due to rislc of personal fnjur~: be sure the engine is cold be-
fore beginning the removal procedure.
Cylinder head removal and installation is a time consuming
repair procedure requiring multiple special
