Gazel engine: cylinder compression rose without teardown
Compression across the cylinders evened out and rose, the effect held after normal operation. 6–7.4 % — cylinder compression, 0.94 → 1.01 and 1.00 → 1.06 (2000).

Cylinder compression — before treatment and after three treatments
| CYLINDER | BEFORE TREATMENT | AFTER THREE TREATMENTS | CHANGE |
|---|---|---|---|
| No. 1 | 0.94 | 1.01 | +7.4 % |
| No. 3 | 1.00 | 1.06 | +6.0 % |
The act does not state the unit of compression measurement, so the change is given as a percentage: a ratio does not depend on the instrument scale.
Commission conclusion
The commission of OJSC Mariupol-Avto recorded in the act: “After three treatments of the internal combustion engine, compression across the cylinders evened out and oil pressure increased. Use of XADO technology for ICE repair is recommended”. Before treatment the engine ran with uneven compression — from 0.85 in the worst cylinder to 1.00 in the best: a spread of 0.15 means loss of sealing in the cylinder-piston group and rough running. The treatments were carried out on the vehicle, without removing or disassembling the engine, and the control measurement was taken after 3053 km of ordinary service — what was recorded is not an instant effect but a state that persisted. Compression physically cannot rise above the nominal value set by the engine manufacturer, so cylinders reaching a single value is the maximum attainable, not a modest gain.
