- Understanding the importance of aircraft engine compression checks is crucial for ensuring peak performance and safety. In this informative video, I explain why these checks are vital, the optimal conditions for performing them, and how to interpret the readings. Additionally, I highlight the significance of a borescope inspection for comprehensive engine health assessment.
Watch as I demonstrate these techniques while working on an A36TC Beechcraft Bonanza, providing a real-world context to the procedures. Whether you're an aviation student, a seasoned mechanic, or an aircraft owner, this video offers valuable insights and practical tips for maintaining your engine’s integrity.

Here's a PSA for the virtue of a borescope... Poking around my Baron's engines, I found an exhaust valve that is starting to not rotate. A new rotator cap, and about 10 hours of running, I'll recheck. Probably may have saved me a few AMU's leaving the cylinder on. I have 12 of them, so the more preventive and non-invasive tests I can do the better.
I don't like pulling anything off an engine unless it's absolutely necessary. You can very easily create a future point of failure. The less invasive the better
Another excellent video, thanks! I did not notice the lighting in the cabin, sorry. 🙂 It's good to hear that you're a fan of both compression checks and borescoping. I bought my own borescope a year or two ago and find that it is invaluable in determining what's really going on inside the cylinder. The fact about the compressions increasing due to worn rings was new to me - thanks!
Looks good Bryce, look forward to my PP class and taking apart and re-assembling something like a generic O-320
Great info! Thx
cool video, lighting was fine. interesting to learn about the cylinders expanding in that way, i would think that the time the engine spends running cold would cause a lot of wear
It's not as much as you may think the diameter cold is something like 5.0005 at the bottom and 5.0000 at the top. Plus, aircraft engines cylinders are very hot compared to liquid cooled, usually 350° and liquid cooled will stay down around 220°
looking forward to the new camera upgrades!
Me too believe me
Same as usual, very useful video! Thanks
The information is fantastic and appreciated. The current setup is too zoomed out. Almost fish eye lens. Try a slight zoom in to tighten the frame.
Yeah, that was my bad, I set the camera too far away and had to zoom in to get my face centered. Once I transition to the hero 9 I will actually have a screen to view the shot before I record and that should help with setting up tremendously. Thanks for the tips.
👍
Hey Bryce where can I find more info on the limits for the contential compression check limits. I remember reading if they are 42 or above with the master orifice then they pass but that conflicts with ac 43.13s number being 65. How do you handle this situation?
Sure thing look at SB-03-3, it's also in the Continental Standard Practice Maintenance Manual. It guides you through the master orifice check. Also AC 43.13 is acceptable data that can be used when no Approved data exists. So based on that Continental manuals or SB overrule the 43.13. The same idea applies to torque if the manufacturer has a torque table it trumps the one in 43.13 I know that was long winded but hope it helps.
Is Camguard oil additive a recommended product? Do all engines have oil coolers?
I recommend it, if you use W100 Plus then camgaurd is already in it. As far as oil coolers go, no not every engine has one. Many of the lower performance engines don't really get hot enough to need one.
I didn't notice the cabin lights either. Something I would definitely work on is sound. Especially when you move or turn away from the camera in some of your videos it's hard to hear you (examples: shouting from the cockpit during the gear swing video, and turning to glance back at the aircraft several times during one of the videos about trying to start on of the school's planes (I forget whether the single engine or multi engine).) Speaking as someone who's never recorded anything for TH-cam: could you use a wireless clip-on mic or something to keep the level consistent?
I have been considering going to a wireless mic in the future. I too have noticed the microphone issues when editing and have been trying to break the habit of speaking away from the mic.
The only small, very small problem with a wireless mic is that it will draw down the battery life very fast, but with my new adapter and hero 9 I can charge the camera wiel also having the mic plugged in so I may have solved that issue
Great content .. I take you have a few airplanes you annual outside of the classroom ? When I retire I’d like to get my IA
Yeah I have about 6 repeate clients. It keeps my IA current and puts a little extra fun money in the bank
Is there anything you can’t do? :) I own a 182 just installed a JPI .. and want to do a stol kit quite the job .. something you could tackle ?
There is allot I can't do tbh. But I have done a STOL kit and Gap Seals before on a 172. You are right it is very very involved. If you are serious about it send me an email at bryce137ap@gmail.com and we can discuss it further.
The content is excellent. Video production side, you just need to make that you are well lit and that the lighting is even overall. Also, for a talking head video, you want to stay away from wide angles unless you want the background to be part of the focus-which will also need to be appropriately lit, in that case. If you are not going to light the background object(s), then a tighter field of view is better. But, again, the content is amazing.
Thanks for the tips. I finally got the mic adapter and case for my HERO 9. I'm going to consume content on production. The hero 9 is 10 times easier to change modes on the fly with. Plus, having a view finder on the back will help tremendously with setting up the camera.
@@brycebuildsit Nice. Looking forward to it!
Or the oil control ring is all sludged up and helping blocking the air
Did never knowing your real ladder keep you from moving up?
Nah, my step ladder always supported my dreams.
