9. Carried out cold start and confirmed engine easy to start. Switched back off and carried out fuel pressure loss check over half hour period with a cold engine – Bank 1 dropped to 1.9bar and Bank 2 dropped to 1.7 bar.
10. Brought engine to operating temperature and then took readings of exhaust gas with analyser from all four tail pipes. HC and O2 values higher than expected indicating potential misfires.
11.Switched off hot engine and then restarted after 30 seconds without the chance for heat soak etc. Engine start consistent with the ease of a cold start.
12. Installed ignition indicators in line between leads and spark plugs and confirmed ignition indication at all 8 cylinders.
