    This document provides instructions for testing and adjusting cylinder compression on 3406E and 3456 generator set engines. It states that intake and exhaust valves must be properly adjusted for an accurate compression reading. It also notes that Caterpillar does not recommend performing compression tests on these engines, which use Keystone piston rings, because the rings do not fully expand at cranking speed, resulting in unstable readings.

    Compression - Test
    SMCS - 1215

    Cylinder compression may be affected by intake valves and exhaust valves that are not properly adjusted. Ensure that
    the intake valves and the exhaust valves are correctly adjusted.

    This Caterpillar engine uses Keystone piston rings. Keystone piston rings are designed to expand during the compression
    stroke of the engine. At engine cranking speed, the Keystone piston rings do not fully expand. This results in unstable
    readings for cylinder compression. As a result Caterpillar does not recommend performing compression tests on engines
    that use Keystone piston rings.
