OIL PRESSURE INSPECTION

Lubrication Oil Pressure

Use caution when working around hot engine oil. Review
all WARNINGS on page 4.2.
1. Start the engine and run until operating temperature is
reached.
2. Turn off the engine.
3. Remove oil pressure sensor (A).
4. Install oil pressure gauge adapter.
Oil pressure gauge: PV-43531
Lubrication System Pressure
A
5. Use the dipstick to check the engine oil level and add
recommended oil, if necessary.
6. Start engine and check oil pressure at 3000 rpm.
7. If oil pressure is outside of specification, refer to the
troubleshooting on page 4.2.
8. Once testing is completed, clean threads with

Loctite Primer N and apply sealant to threads
indicated in Fig. 1 and install.

LUBRICATION & COOLING

Cooling Oil Flow Inspection

Cooling oil inspection is accomplished by verifying oil flow
through the cooler. The temperature of the cooler should
be close to crankcase temperature. Pressure testing
cannot be performed at the Cylinder Head Temperature
(CHT) port, because the sensor does not enter the
cooling oil passage. Cooling oil pressure changes along
various paths and designed flow restrictions located
inside the engine (like voltage drops across a resistive
electrical circuit). Diagnostics should be limited to
verifying that oil is flowing through the cooler, and that air
flow through the cooler and to the engine cylinder fins is
unobstructed. Cooling oil enters the cooler on the bottom
line and exits (back to the engine) on the upper line.
IMPORTANT! Tip conforms to cylinder head metal when
installed. It does not contact the cooling oil passage!
