REMARKS
a. Installation of Engine on Dynamometer
NOTE
Engine break-in will take place during dynamometer testing. Break-in on a new or rebuilt
engine provides a short running period where moving parts acquire their final finish and
mating surfaces reach a full seat. Engine dynamometer testing helps to find assembly
errors, determine where adjustments are necessary after engine break-in, and test-runs
engine long enough so final adjustments can be made.
