- While diagnosing the cause for an engine having good results from a compression test and cylinder leakage test but poor results from a cylinder power balance test: Technician A says that incorrect valve timing is the most likely cause. Technician B says that a severely worn cam lobe is a likely cause. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardA brake pad is found to be wearing more on one side than the other. Technician A says this is common in real world situations.
