If the pressure rises within 20 seconds, the
following conditions may exist:
•

Note: If there is a leak into the oil tank, it will
not be possible to fully identify the leak. If
pressure remains steady in the crankcase
after shutting off the oil line hole, for example
stopper (
see chap

indication that there is a defect in the
crankcase gasket to the oil tank.
Always perform sealing tests with
underpressure!
If a leak is diagnosed, it can be found
using overpressure and detergent or
similar liquid.

Note: Before applying the Loctite 620,
degrease both bearings.
