Title:
Compression Testing and Cylinder Inspection with Dave Prizio
Topic:
COMPRESSION TESTING & CYLINDER INSPECTION FOR CERTIFICATED & E-AB AIRCRAFT
Brief Description:
For our May EAA Chapter 92 meeting, join us for a tutorial on cylinder inspection. We will look at differential compression testing, including its strengths and weaknesses. We will also look at the use of an inexpensive bore scope to examine the interior of aircraft engine cylinders. By combining information from both of these tests an airplane owner can make a better decision about when to remove and repair or replace a cylinder versus keep flying with it.
