Sorry crew, posting this in the L300 thread bc I honestly don't think it will get seen in the non-delica thread. Also, posting this for a friend as I'm currently down with covid, f***!, so not getting my own stuff done.
He's got a 92' Pajero 4D56T. We were walking through a compression test over video chat and he was getting a super high PSI reading, between 590 and 670PSI! Felt like he was doing something incorrectly, but there is not much to do wrong. Fuel was disconnected, all plugs were removed, and hot engine.
Not finding too much good info out there on what would be causing this. The manual only calls out low PSI reading. Some websites say that it's a breathing issue. Worn cams, clogged exhaust system, carbon buildup on pistons, bent rockers.
What we did notice was that he did have a significant amount of exhaust puffing from the glow plug holes while we were running the test. This is not something I recall occurring when I ran my test two weeks ago.
This is across all cylinders so I don't suspect he has 4 bent rockers. Any thoughts from the brain trust on where to start looking? What other issues would too high of compression lead to, leaky seals perhaps?
Thanks.
