Extra attention - purging system w thermostat
in General Tech Discussion
10 years ago
About the instruction video - Purging of Lubrication System:
I have a 912S and the optional thermostat installed.
I have followed the instructions in the video - but I am unsure of the following statement:
"Extra attention should be given to insure that the circuit is properly purged of air."
How can I ensure that the oil cooler is properly purged of air?
When running the engine for the first time from cold, I get normal oil pressure.
After a while around 120F it looks like pressure is dropping a bit, but still on green.
Returning the engine to Idle makes the pressure to rise again to "green-center".
I stopped the engine here, wanted to make sure where to ensure how to purge the circuit
after the thermostat.
Thanks,
Rickard
