ENGINE
ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE:
WESTERBEKE recommends that the following engine adjust-
ments be performed by a competent engine mechanic. The information
below
is provided to assist the mechanic.
FUEL

TESTING
OIL
PRESSURE
To
test the oil pressure, remove the oil pressure sender, then
install a mechanical oil pressure gauge in it's place. After
warming up the engine, set the engine speed at idle and read
the oil pressure gauge.

LOW
OIL
PRESSURE
. The specific safe minimum oil pressure is 5 - 10 psi. A grad-
ual loss
of
oil pressure usually indicates worn bearings. For
additional infonnation on low oil pressure readings, see the
ENGINE TROUBLESHOqTING chart.

ENGINE
COMPRESSION
Check the compression pressure. To do tllis
wann
the engine,
remove all fuel injectors, or glow plugs, disconnect the fuel
shut-off solenoid wire, and install a compression adapter in
the injector hole or glow plug hole. Connect a compression
tester on the adapter
and
crank the engine with the starter
motor until the pressure reaches a maximum value. Repeat
this process for each cylinder. Look for cylinders with
dramaticaliy (at least 20%) lower compression than the
average
of
the others. Compression pressure should not differ
by more than 35.5 psi (2.5 kg/cm
2
) at 280 rpm.
If
a weak cylinder is flanked by healthy cylinder, the problem
is either valve or piston related. Check the
valve clearances
for the weak cylinder, adjust as needed and test again.
If
the
cylinder is still
low,
apply a small amount
of
oil into the
cylinder to seal the rings and repeat the test.
If
compression
comes up - the rings are faulty.
Abnonnally high readings
on
all cylinders indicates heavy
carbon accumulations, a condition that
nlight be
accompanied by
lligh pressures and noise.
1.
Loosen the locknut on the
idle adjustment bolt.
2. Adjust the bolt so that the
throttle control lever will hold
the engine at a quiet idle
(
800
to
1000
RPM).
3. Tighten the locknut.
. 4. Race the engine several
times to ensure the idle

Excessive drive belt tension can cause rapid wear
of
the belt
and reduce the service life
of
the fresh water pump's bearing.
A slack belt or the presence
of
oil on the belt can cause belt
slipping, resulting in high operating temperatures.
The drive belt is properly adjusted
if
the belt can be
deflected no less than 3/8 inch (lOmm) and no more than
l/2
inch (12mm) as the belt is depressed with the thumb at the
midpoint between the two pulleys on the longest span
of
the
belt. A spare belt or belts should always be carried on board.
A
WARNING:
Never
attempt
to
check
or
adjust
the
drive
belt's
tension
while
the
engine
is
in
operation.
Adjusting
Belt
Tension
1.
Loosen the alternator pivot bolt.
2. Loosen the alternator adjusting bolt.
3. With the alternator loose, swing it outward until the drive
belt is tensioned correctly.
4. Tighten both bolts.
5. Check the tension again after the engine has been
in
operation.
