Conduct thetest for a total of 100 h, with no scheduled shutdowns. Thereare two operating conditions, Stage I and Stage II; Stage I for50 min and Stage II for 10

37、 min comprise one test cycle. Thetest length is 100 cycles.4.5 Analyses ConductedAfter test, measure the camshaftlobes using a surface profilometer. From these graphical profilemeasurements, determine the maximum wear at seven loca-tions on the cam lobe. Determine individual cam lobe wear bysumming

38、the seven location wear measurements. Average thewear from the twelve cam lobes for the final, primary testresult. After test completion, determine the oil consumption bythe mass of used oil versus the fresh oil charged to the engine(including oil filter). Analyze the end of test used oil for fueldi
