How is the oil flow rate check done on a 787 engine? I have a 98 Challenger with twin 787's.
The manual has a w/engine running and then a bench test, but the w/engine running test is not very specific:
THIS IS FROM THE MANUAL:
Start engine and run at idle while holding the
pump lever in fully open position. Oil must advance
into small oil lines.
NOTE: The engine should have a rich mixture,
idling irregularly and emitting smoke at exhaust
outlet.
If not, remove pump assembly and check the
pump gear (717 engine) or shaft (787 engine) for
defects, replace as necessary. Test pump as described
below:
NOTE: Through normal use, oil level must not
drop in small tubes. If oil drops, verify check valve
operation. Replace as necessary.
is there a flow rate check other than this??
Thanks,
