CAUTION
Never vacuum test cylinder head with injectors installed.
Installation of injectors while head is removed from block
could cause misalignment of valves in valve seat area
and result in leakage during testing which would not
necessarily occur during actual engine operation.
1. Operate vacuum pump until hand on vacuum
gauge (1,
Fig.
2-13) reaches 18 to 25 inches vacuum.
Close shut-off valve (2), release push-button to stop
pump.
2. Time fall of gauge hand as follows:
a.
Begin
timing as soon as hand reaches "18" on dial.
b. Stop timing when hand reaches "8." c.
If
elapsed time is less than ten seconds, valve seat is
unsatisfactory.
3. Tap stem end of valve with a soft-faced mallet
and retest.
If valve seat is unsatisfactory:
a. Check for leaking connections in tester; operate
vacuum pump against a clean window glass or any
smooth flat surface; fall of indicator hand indicates a
loose connection.
b. Check valve and seat face area to be sure they
are free of dirt particles.
4. Regrind seat and reface valve if necessary;
however, it is possible to mistake leakage around valve
seat insert for valve seat leakage.
If this type leakage is
suspected, apply
