Monitor the differential pressure across the strainer and filter during engine operation. Ensure the differential pressure does not exceed bypass valves set point. If the strainer or filter requires repeated cleaning to maintain proper differential pressure, the entire flushing procedure shall be repeated. warning Some debris is expected during engine operations for various reasons (i.e. internal engine components that cannot be 100% flushed, potential overhaul/repair work accomplished concurrently with flushing, vibrations created by engine operations, etc). Engine run-in should continue, monitoring pressures and filter contents, to ensure residual debris is filtered by the installed system before making official determination regarding efficiency of the flush. Immediately stop all engine run-in procedures if evidence of substantial debris (i.e. metal shavings, large contaminates, etc) are discovered that could be indicators of potential issues. 4.
