Dyno Preparations

[grigor]

Each time I read someone's dyno run, there's always some guesswork as to why it did or didn't perform. As dyno time is expensive, perhaps some preparation is in order so I'll start with some suggestions.

1. In the days before the run, keep filling the tank with your preferred fuel so there's no dilution.

2. Change your fuel filter, oil filter and oil.(Engines work hard on a dyno)

3. Check air filter and all induction pipework, hose clamps etc.

4. Remove your coil pack cover. If you need to close the plug gaps, you're that far ahead and I hate working on hot engines.

5. Ensure the operator checks the static ignition timing.

6. Ensure he installs a fuel pressure gauge. No use wasting money on a tune if the rail pressure is falling away.

That's a few for starters.

If anyone else has more suggestions please add them here.
