2. Leak-down tester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak-down_tester

   A compression tester. Leak-down testing is a static test. Leak-down tests cylinder leakage paths. Leak-down primarily tests pistons and rings, seated valve sealing, and the head gasket. Leak-down will not show valve timing and movement problems, or piston movement related sealing problems. Any test should include both compression and leak-down.

3. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

   In piston engines, static compression ratio is determined using the cylinder volume when the piston is at the top and bottom of its travel. The compression ratio is the ratio between the maximum and minimum volume during the compression stage of the power cycle in a piston or Wankel engine.

4. Compression release - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_release

   The most common kind of small engine compression release uses a camshaft mounted mechanical lever that pushes the exhaust valve tappet slightly, venting engine compression through the exhaust valve. Once the engine spins to starting speed, centrifugal force causes the lever to move out of the way, and the exhaust valve is allowed to seat fully.

5. Twist compression tester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twist_compression_tester

   The Twist Compression Tester ("TCT") is a hydraulically operated bench-top apparatus used to evaluate the level of friction and/or wear between two materials under lubricated or non-lubricated conditions. Under controlled conditions, a rotating annular specimen is brought into contact with a non-rotating flat specimen.

6. GM small gasoline engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_small_gasoline_engine

   The GM Small Gasoline Engine (SGE) is a family of small-displacement, inline three- and four-cylinder gasoline engines ranging from 1.0 L to 1.5 L, developed by Adam Opel AG, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), MG Motor (MG), Shanghai GM (SGM), and the Pan-Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC).

7. Variable compression ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_compression_ratio

   Variable compression ratio (VCR) is a technology to adjust the compression ratio of an internal combustion engine while the engine is in operation. This is done to increase fuel efficiency while under varying loads. Variable compression engines allow the volume above the piston at top dead centre to be changed. Higher loads require lower ratios ...
