What is a drain plug?
A drain plug is a plug which is taken out to allow a fluid to be drained from a tank such as an engine oil pan or sump. Remove the oil drain plug and allow oil to drain out. Remove the drain plug under the engine with the wrench, and let the oil flow into the pan.
What should the compression be on a Ford 8N tractor?
It seems reasonable that the published 8N compression ratio of 6.2:1 therefore should yield a maximum cylinder pressure of about 91 PSI (6.2 X 14.7). However, compression of a gas also raises its temperature, which increases the maximum cylinder pressure.
