Install the cover and press on the center of the cover while tightening the bolts.When a 3500 Series Engine is tested on a dynomometer, check oil sequence valve operation by measuring the oil pressure to the piston cooling jets. This oil pressure can be measured at the drilled oil galleries in the sides of the cylinder block. These galleries are covered by two 8N8056 Covers (see Illustration 2). Modify two 8N8056 Covers (purchased separately) as shown in Illustration 3. Remove the two engine covers and install the modified covers and pressure gauges to check oil sequence valve operation. After the test, install the original covers on the engine.
Do not leave the modified covers installed on the engine after testing is completed.
