1. Install 13/16-16 NPT fitting, shut-off valve, and air
chuck fitting to high-pressure oil hose connected
to cylinder head.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal
injury, possible death, or damage to
the
engine or vehicle, do the following
:
• Install an inline shut-off valve.
If system does not leak when air is app
lied,
the system will maintain pressur
e.
When hose is removed, oil will be r
eleased
with air pressure.
• Use inlin e shut-off valve to cont
rol and
contain bleed-offpressure mix
ture (air and
oil).
2. Remove oil level gauge from oil fill tube.
3. Close shut-off valve.
4. Connect shop air supply line to test hose.
5. Apply 689 kPa (100 psi) of pre ssure. Slowly open
the shut-off valve.
6. Listen for an air leak in the crankcase through the
oil fill tube.
NOTE: Engines with engine brake option will have
a small amount of air passing through the system.
Air will pass through brake shut-off valve into the
brake oil gallery. The air will leak off through the
actuator pistons a nd the relief valve at the end of
the rail.
7. Record results on Diagnostic Form.
• If a leak is not heard, check previous test
results.
