[QUOTE="jarance, post: 435629, member: 21"] Actually, if there is a hairline crack between the piston and the water line (jacket), the compression test can roughly tell there is a leak without having to remove the cylinder head. However, it is not conclusive until the cylinder head is removed and dye penetrant check is done or use flaw detection via ultrasonic devices. Have to agree with you that the compression test is basically meant for piston rings and valve seats. [/QUOTE]
