The Sealey VS312 Plug is designed for testing compression on petrol engines quickly and effectively. It helps identify potential problems such as worn piston rings, valves, and cylinder head gaskets.
To connect the Sealey VS312 Plug, first remove the spark plug from the cylinder you wish to test. Then, attach the compression tester to the spark plug hole, ensuring a tight seal.
If low compression readings are detected, check for issues such as a blown head gasket, worn piston rings, or damaged valves, and address these as needed.
Maintain the Sealey VS312 Plug by cleaning it after each use, storing it in a dry place, and periodically checking for any damage or wear to ensure accurate readings.
No, the Sealey VS312 Plug is specifically designed for petrol engines. For diesel engines, a different compression tester is required.
To release pressure, simply press the release valve on the side of the tester. Ensure that the engine is off and the tester is securely attached to avoid any risk.
Calibration of the Sealey VS312 Plug should be done annually or more frequently if the device is used extensively to ensure accuracy in readings.
If there is no reading, ensure that the tester is properly connected, the seals are intact, and that there are no blockages in the gauge or connecting hose.
Refer to the engine manufacturer's specifications for ideal compression ranges. Deviations from these values can indicate specific issues, such as engine wear or damage.
Yes, certain parts of the Sealey VS312 Plug, such as the gauge or hose, can be replaced if they show signs of wear or damage to maintain functionality.
