    Cylinder Head Pressure Test (DD-1078)

    Summary
    The Cylinder Head Pressure Test procedure is used to check the cylinder head for leakage.

    Service Tools
    Leak Test Tool - Part# W470589012500 (DD13 Engines)

    Leak Test Tool - Part# W470589002500 (DD15 and DD16 Engines)

    Electronic Service Tool

    Cylinder Head Pressure Test


    1. Remove the cylinder head.

    2. Thoroughly clean the cylinder head.

    3. Inspect the sealing surfaces of the cylinder head and the tool. If damage is found, repair as necessary.

    Note: The leak test plates have gaskets that seal to the deck surface of the cylinder head and the exhaust
    side of the head. These gaskets can prevent pressure from escaping if there is a leak around the valves or a
    leak inside an exhaust port. For this reason, it is recommended to drill small relief holes in the gaskets at the
    valve areas and the exhaust ports.

    4. Install the leak test tool using the original head bolts along with the supplied hardware onto the head
    gasket surface of the cylinder head with the rubber side toward the head. Torque to 13 N·m (10 lb·ft) or until
    the rubber starts to bulge out from in between the tool and the head.

    5. Install the water manifold opening covers with the supplied hardware in the same fashion. Tighten the
    bolts to 13 N·m (10 lb·ft). The rubber should be starting to bulge from between the tool and the cylinder
    head.

    6. Install the cup plug caps onto the cup plugs using the supplied hardware with the cutout side facing the
    cup plug. Torque to 15 N·m (11 lb·ft).

    7. Attach the air pressure gauge and regulator J-45982-7 or equivalent.

    8. Turn the regulator counterclockwise until it stops.

    9. Connect shop air to the regulator and turn it clockwise until the gauge reads 206.8 kPa (30 psi).

    10. Allow the air pressure to stabilize for one minute.

    11. Close the ball valve on the regulator and disconnect the shop air hose.

    12. Allow the head to remain pressurized for thirty minutes. There should be no pressure loss over a 30-
    minute time period.

    13. If the pressure drops, use a soap and water solution to determine where the possible leak is coming
    from. Once the leak has been identified, repair as necessary.
