Measurements from these indicators and gauges must
be observed closely during all phases of the engine
run-in period. Refer to page 14-6 for specifications and
acceptable readings.
To correctly evaluate the engine performance, this
additional measurement must be observed during
engine run-in phases.
It is good practice to observe these measurements
even if engine performance meets specifications. If
engine performance does not meet specifications,
these measurements can indicate possible reasons for
under-performance.
CAUTION
Do not crank the engine for more than 30
seconds. Excessive heat will damage the
starting motor.
Crank the engine and observe the oil pressure when
the engine starts. If the engine fails to start within 30
seconds, allow the starting motor to cool for 2 minutes
before cranking the engine again.
