Use a stopwatch. Start timing when the needle on the
gauge indicates 457 mm-Hg [18 in.Hg].
Stop timing when the needle on the gauge indicates 203
mm Hg [8 in.Hg].
The elapsed time for the needle to move between the
specified gauge readings must be 10 seconds or more.
If the elapsed time is less than 10 seconds, perform the
following checks:
• Repeat the test to make sure the equipment is op-
erating correctly.
• Use a mallet to lightly hit the valve stem to make sure
the valve is seated. Repeat the test.
• Apply a thin layer of grease on the outside diameters
of the insert and the valve head. Repeat the test.
The grease pattern will show the point of leakage.
NOTE: A break in the grease seal pattern will indicate leak-
age between the valves and the valve seat or the valve seat
insert and the cylinder head. Refer to Cylinder Head - Re-
build (02-02).
