Setting the crankshaft to the top dead center (TDC) position of the piston of cylinder No.1



Turning the engine crankshaft in the direction of rotation, set the piston of cylinder No.1 to the top dead center (TDC) position (mark 1).



Lower the car.

Setting the crankshaft to the top dead center (TDC) position of the piston of cylinder No.1: 1 –…

Setting the crankshaft to the top dead center (TDC) position of the piston of cylinder No.1: 1 – marks


Place 3 marks on one of the camshaft gears and align the marks on both gears.

Alignment of marks on camshaft gears: 1 – marks

Alignment of marks on camshaft gears: 1 – marks


Each mark must be offset by 90° relative to the adjacent mark.

Connect the pressure drop tester to the compressed air supply system.

Connect the pressure drop tester to the compressed air supply system.


Calibrate the pressure drop tester.



Engage first gear and apply the parking brake.

Note: The wheels must be in contact with the ground.


Screw the connecting piece into the threaded hole of the spark plug of cylinder No.1.

Apply compressed air to the cylinder.

Checking the pressure drop

Determine the value of the pressure drop.

The maximum permissible pressure difference between cylinders is approximately 10%.

Maximum pressure loss in the cylinder is 25%.

Note: Watch for any visible compressed air leaks in the intake and exhaust manifolds and crankcase.


Note: Watch out for bubbles in the coolant expansion tank.


Turn the crankshaft 180° in the direction of engine rotation (corresponds to 90° of rotation of the camshaft gear) and set the piston of cylinder No.3 to the top dead center (TDC) position (pre-marked).

Connect the pressure drop tester.

Screw the connecting piece into the threaded hole of the spark plug of cylinder No.3 and supply compressed air to the cylinder.

Determine the value of the pressure drop.

The maximum permissible pressure difference between cylinders is approximately 10%.

Maximum pressure loss in the cylinder is 25%.

Turn the crankshaft 180° in the direction of engine rotation (corresponds to 90° of rotation of the camshaft gear) and set the piston of cylinder No.4 to the top dead center (TDC) position (pre-marked)

Connect the pressure drop tester.

Screw the connecting piece into the threaded hole of the spark plug of cylinder No.4 and supply compressed air to the cylinder.

Determine the value of the pressure drop.
