REMARKS
c. Power Check
CAUTION
Do not shut engine down immediately after power check is complete. Serious engine
damage will result.
8.
Engine (8)
a. Run at 2100 rpm for 4 minutes.
Refer to power check in test chart.
Check crankcase pressure with
blow-by measuring tool (4). Repeat
procedure until engine (8)
develops 96-100% rated
horsepower at standard fuel rate
within permissible crankcase
pressure limit. Operate air
compressor (7) in non-pumping mode.
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 sudden increase
happens, or if it is more than 12" H2O, do the preceding test over again and run engine 15
more minutes. When blow-by is OK, do next test. If not OK, stop the test and find reason
for too much blow-by. Check engine for fuel, oil, water, air, or exhaust leaks after each test
and fix as needed.
Phase 1 - 25% HP @1200 RPM @160° water temperature.
Phase 2 - 40% HP @1200 RPM
Phase 3 - 65% HP @1600 RPM
Phase 4 - 100% HP @ Nominal torque peak RPM *(1200) RPM
Power Check - 96-100% HP @1600 RPM
*100 RPM below torque peak RPM
