3-92. ENGINE DYNAMOMETER TESTING (Contd)
LOCATION/ITEM
ACTION
REMARKS
NOTE
At each phase, record crankcase pressure blow-by, engine speed, and load at one
minute intervals. Watch for increases or wide shifts in blow-by pressure. If a sudden
increase in blow-by pressure occurs or if blow-by exceeds 12" H2O, return to the
previous phase test or repeat phase 1 test and operate engine an additional 15 minutes.
If blow-by does not reach an acceptable level after repeating test for 15 minutes,
discontinue test and determine cause. If blow-by is within an acceptable level, proceed
to next phase test.
After each test, check for fuel, air, water, oil, or exhaust leaks and correct as necessary.
Lubricating oil level is checked only when engine is shut down or incorrect readings on
dipstick will result.

load to engine (8) at ±10 percent
horsepower, ±5 percent speed.
Check crankcase pressure with
blow-by measuring tool (4).
Operate engine (8) until normal
oil operating temperature is
attained. Stop engine (8) and
check lubricating oil level. Add
lubricating oil to bring level up to
H (high) on dipstick. Allow oil
temperature to stabilize. Operate
air compressor (7) in pumping mode.
