because somewhere you are "leaking compression" with bad piston rings, intake or exhaust valves or similar.

What would happen if don't fix my car from low compression?

Most engines lose compression over time, but each cylinder should have roughly equal compression. Even if compression numbers are not equal, however, it's usually not worth the expense to fix this.


What will cause no cylinder compression?

A cracked or broken piston will cause a loss of compression, as will cracked or broken rings. The failure of a head gasket will also cause a loss of compression, as will broken, cracked or badly worn valves or valve seats. A crack in the cylinder itself (either the sleeve or the engine block), or a crack in the head itself will cause a loss of compression. A problem with the plug threads or the threads in the head (for engines that have plugs) can cause loss of compression, and injectors (for engines that have them) can leak around the threads, either because the injector threads or the threads in the head have been damaged.

To increase compression. Sleeve valves take a lot of combustion chamber space.

Does higher octane produce higher co?

Higher octane is helpful for high compression engines. High compression causes the combustion to take place faster and can cause pinging and a loss of power. By using high octane with high compression you get the advantage of the extra efficiency of the high compression engine and the delivery of the combustion across the power stroke of the piston, with out pinging.

What is compressing loss?

Data Compression is a technique to minimize the space used by data in storing. So when we do compression of data, no data is loss.
