Oil pressure check
- Disconnect the electrical connection of the mini-
mum oil pressure switch and then remove the
switch.
- Check that the oil pressure reading is between
0.5 ÷ 1.2 atm with engine idling at 1650 rpm and
oil at the required temperature (wait for at least one
electric ventilation).
- Check that the oil pressure reading is between
3.2 ÷ 4.2 atm with engine idling at 6000 rpm and
oil at the required temperature.
- Remove the specific tools on the engine once the
measurement is complete. Refit the oil pressure
switch and washer, tightening it to the prescribed
torque, and fit the flywheel cover.
- If oil pressure reading are not within the specified
limits, check in the following order: the oil filter, the
oil by-pass valve, the oil pump and the crankshaft
seals.
NOTE
THIS CHECK MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH OIL AT THE
CORRECT LEVEL AND WITH AN OIL FILTER IN GOOD
CONDITION.
