10. Once you have verified the system is leak-free, start the engine and
let it run for approximately 1 minute. Then, turn the engine off and
perform a final check of the bilge for any fluid leaks.
WARNING! Always make sure that no fuel leaks exist and that the
engine compartment is well ventilated with no gasoline vapors present
to avoid fire or explosion hazard before performing any fuel system
maintenance. Inspect the high-pressure fuel filter for any leaks. Correct
any leak if found, clean spilled fuel immediately and repeat steps 9 and 10.
CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID/OIL
AND FILTER
Refer to the transmission service manual for specific service instructions
and oil/filter requirements.
NOTE: It is recommended that this service be performed by a certified Ilmor
dealer.

CHECK THE TRANSMISSION COOLER

This applies to all MV8 engines except the 7.4L.
Because this process should be completed while the engine is cool (in order
to avoid burns), it is recommended that this check be completed prior to
starting the engine.
1. Ensure the engine is OFF and the engine safety starting switch is
disconnected. Leave the throttle/shift control lever in neutral. Open the
engine compartment. The transmission cooler is located either near the
top or on the side of the engine.
2. Loosen the clamp surrounding the water intake hose at the back of the
transmission cooler and slide off the hose.
3. Check the inside for signs of debris. Even small amounts of debris
must be removed to prevent the material from clogging the cooler and
preventing it from functioning properly. The boat must not be operated
with any foreign materials blocking the flow of water through the
cooler.
4. After cleaning, reattach the hose and clamp.
