Engine surfaces and fluids can be hot. A running engine will have moving belts exposed at the front of the engine (rear of bus). These hazards can result in personal injury or death. stop the engine while connecting test equipment and work carefully around a running engine. Do not allow tools or test equipment to protrude or vibrate into the path of rotating belts. |

Damaged pistons or rings can cause too much pressure in the crankcase. This condition will cause the engine to run rough. There will be more than the normal amount of fumes (blowby) rising from the crankcase breather. The breather can then become restricted in a very short time, causing oil leakage at gaskets and seals that would not normally have leakage. Blowby can also be caused by worn valve guides or by a failed turbocharger seal.
