Compression Check

Is There A Way To Check Compression On A Motor Thats Not In The Jeep? Maybe With A Air Compressor? I Just Bought A 1968 Dauntless For $100.00. It Has A Single Barrel Carb And A Oil Bath Air Cleaner. It Came Out Of A Cj6 With The Alt. And Bell Houseing. Happy, Happy!

 

It Does Have A Starter. I'm Going To Take Both The Starter And The Alt Off And Get Them Checked First.

 

Jim J if you want I can ship you my screw-in compression tester I use on my V6s. Just pay fer shipping back & forth and save yerself $25. I used it most recently on a non-Dauntless 1bbl 225V6 out of the Jeep. BTW are you sure yers is a 1bbl Dauntless? I thought all Dauntless' were 2bbl. :? Maybe I've been using Dan's crack pipe?

 

Hippo: I think you're correct. The Buick "auto" engines had some 1 bbls on them. The Jeep :v6: all had 2bbl 2G's I believe.

Don't know about the crack pipe though.

 

the valve cover still has a dauntless sticker on it. and hippo after i get the starter checked i think i'll take you up on the offer of the tester. thanks . you guys are great.

 

i looked through the search under dauntless. is this right? the 231 is odd fire and the 225 is even fire?

 

No...there are odd and even fire 231....but all 225's were odd fire.

 

boy , was i confused. thanks

 

Jim look here under the V6 engine....

mudweiserjeep, thanks for the help. i looked all over the search but never thought to look here. anyway i have a single barrel carb but the site doesn't have info for it. i looked for the intake # b1378704e. on the site it says that the # is for a 2 barrel. oh well, back to being confused.

 

Hmm, is there a funny-looking adapter for the 1bbl carb?
Take a look at the rear valley behind & under the intake. What's the casting #?

 

i knew something was wrong. looking at the carb i see a single round opening. that's a 1 barrel right? no dimwit, look down the carb. there are 2 barrels. wipe off some crud and see gm 2jet rochester. ah ha .... i see said the blind man, as the one legged fireman kicked down the door.......

 

R) R) R) Lmao. Btdt. :d

 

Ah, ha!! Good 'Ol 2g. Don't feel bad, read Hippo's post above!
