The BMEP Engine Cylinder Balancer is used to balance the cylinder loading of any multi-cylinder internal combustion engine equipped with individual cylinder fuel adjustment.

It fits the standard indicator valve and is quickly connected and sealed with slightly more than hand-tight torque.

When the indicator valve is opened, the pressure gauge will come to a steady reading which will not change unless the load changes. This reading shows the Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP) existing within the selected cylinder. The reading correlates directly to horsepower developed by that cylinder.

To balance the engine, keep the engine load constant, take readings from each cylinder, and make fuel adjustments as required until all cylinders yield the same pressure reading.

All cylinders are now delivering equal power, and the engine is balanced.
