Field Testing of Automotive Engines

Abstract

The report provides guidance for development testing of field performance of automotive engines installed in wheeled and tracked vehicles. It describes preliminary activities and requirements for initial inspection, servicing, and safety evaluation. It lists supporting tests including those applicable to engine performance under severe operating conditions. It provides supplementary instructions covering basic vehicle subtests and endurance, durability, and reliability. It is designed primarily for reciprocating internal combustion engines but applicable to other types.
