Oil pressure check

- After removing the flywheel cover as described

in the "Flywheel" chapter, remove the electric con-

nexion of the minimum oil pressure switch and

then remove the switch.

- With the engine idling at 1,750 rpm and the oil

temperature at ~90°C, check that the oil pressure

is between 0.5 - 1.2 atm.

- With the engine idling at 5,000 rpm and the oil

temperature at ~90°C, check that the oil pressure

is between 3.2 - 4.2 atm.

- Remove the appropriate tools once the meas-

urement is complete, refit the oil pressure switch

and washer, tightening it to the specified torque

and fit the flywheel cover.

- If the oil pressure is not within the specified limits,

in the following order, check: the oil filter, the oil

by-pass valve, the oil pump and the crankshaft

seals.

N.B.

THE CHECK MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH OIL AT THE
CORRECT LEVEL AND WITH AN OIL FILTER IN PROPER
CONDITION.
