Air Inlet and Exhaust System - Inspect

SMCS - 1050-040

Air Inlet Restriction

There will be a reduction in the performance of the engine if there is a restriction in the air inlet
system or the exhaust system.

1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group

Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS8907, "Using the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group " for the
instructions that are needed to use the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group .

1. Inspect the engine air cleaner inlet and ducting in order to ensure that the passageway is not
blocked or collapsed.

2. Inspect the engine air cleaner element. Replace a dirty engine air cleaner element with a clean
engine air cleaner element.

3. Check for dirt on the clean side of the engine air cleaner element. If dirt is observed,
contaminants are flowing past the engine air cleaner element and/or the seal for the engine air
cleaner element.

Hot engine components can cause injury from burns. Before

performing maintenance on the engine, allow the engine and the
components to cool.

Making contact with a running engine can cause burns from hot parts
and can cause injury from rotating parts.

When working on an engine that is running, avoid contact with hot

parts and rotating parts.

4. Use the differential pressure gauge of the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Test Group in order to
measure the restriction of the air inlet system.

(1) Turbocharger

(2) Air inlet piping

(3) Test location

(4) Air cleaner

a. Connect the vacuum port of the differential pressure gauge to test location (3). The test
location can be located anywhere along air inlet piping (2) after engine air cleaner (4) but
before turbocharger (1) .

b. Leave the pressure port of the differential pressure gauge open to the atmosphere.

c. Start the engine. Run the engine in the no-load condition at high idle.

d. Record the value and compare the result to the appropriate values that follow.

The air flow through a used engine air cleaner may have a restriction. The air flow through a plugged
engine air cleaner will be restricted to some magnitude. In either case, the restriction must not be
more than the following amount:

Maximum restriction ... 6.2 kPa (25 inch of H2O)

Exhaust Restriction
Back pressure is the difference in the pressure between the exhaust at the outlet elbow and the
atmospheric air.

instructions that are needed to use the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group.

Hot engine components can cause injury from burns. Before

 Making contact with a running engine can cause burns from hot parts
and can cause injury from rotating parts.

When working on an engine that is running, avoid contact with hot

parts and rotating parts.

Use the differential pressure gauge of the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group in order to measure back
pressure from the exhaust. Use the following procedure in order to measure back pressure from the
exhaust:

Illustration 4 g00707842

(1) Turbocharger

(5) Muffler

(6) Test location

(7) Exhaust piping

1. Connect the pressure port of the differential pressure gauge to test location (6). The test location
can be located anywhere along exhaust piping (7) after turbocharger (1) but before the muffler
(5) .
 2. Leave the vacuum port of the differential pressure gauge open to the atmosphere.

3. Start the engine. Run the engine in the no-load condition at high idle.

4. Record the value and compare the result to the value that follows.

Maximum back pressure from the exhaust must not be more than the following amount:

Standard Exhaust ... 6.7 kPa (27 inch of H2O)

Water Cooled Exhaust ... 10 kPa (40 inch of H2O)
