the valve in place. Simply remove the cover to ex-
pose the boot.
Make sure the spark plugs are installed and tight-

Activate pump and pressurize engine to 34 kPa (5 PSI).
Do not exceed this pressure.
Wait 3 minutes and check if pressure drops; if so,
verify all testing components.
If kit components are not leaking, verify engine
jointed surfaces as per following areas:
– spark plugs
– cylinder head gasket
– cylinder base gasket
– crankcase halves
– rotary valve cover
– engine plugs
– exhaust manifold
– intake manifold (717 engines)
– oil injection pump (717 engines)
Check also small oil injection pump lines and fit-
tings; check for air bubbles or oil column going to-
ward pump, which indicate a defective check
valve.

If the above mentioned components are not leak-
ing, block both oil hoses of the rotary valve shaft
using hose pinchers.
NOTE: If leakage stops at this point, proceed with
Rotary Valve Shaft testing.
If there is still some leakage, remove the PTO fly-
wheel to verify outer seal.
If no leak is found on the PTO side outer seal, re-
move magneto flywheel and verify crankshaft
outer seals.
Proceed with the Rotary Valve Shaft testing if
the crankshaft outer seals are not leaking.
