Oil pressure check
Once remounted fill the engine with oil, fuel and coolant.
Remove the pressure switch, fit a union and connect a 10 bar
pressure gauge.
Start the engine and check how pressure is affected by oil
temperature.
Nota: With a maximum operating temperature of 120°C at 900 rpm
the oil pressure must not be less than 1 bar.
