Date:
Record the results of the vehicle’s engine inspection and
measurements below.
Dealer Number:

Concern is “blue smoke” for tailpipes.
1.
Use this checklist for “blue smoke” complaints only.
Visual inspection for the
exhaust tailpipes for blue
smoke
Labor
operations
00 66 287 (995)
Is there blue smoke emitting from the tailpipes (Running engine to operating temperature) as described in B01 21
18? YES or No (No further repair)
Five Point Check and Results: Only provide the answers to the applicable questions in steps 2 through 9, unless
otherwise directed.
2.
Is the front engine cover leaking?
YES or NO
3.
Is the upper engine oil pan leaking?
YES or NO
4.
Is the engine oil leaking from the lower bell housing area?
YES or NO
5.
Only if 2 or 3 or 4 are answered with “YES”.
Use the bore scope (10). Is the oil return cover or oil return line
gaskets leaking oil? Provide photo in the case using the
borescope regardless if it is found wet or dry.
YES or NO
If YES, do not replace the engine for oil
leakage and proceed to step 6.
6.
Are the turbochargers leaking engine oil?
YES or NO
7.
Did the vehicle fail the timing chain test plan?
YES or NO
8.
Was a cylinder compression test performed?
YES or NO
Note: The cylinder compression test should be performed after the engine has reached operating temperature.
When performing this test, count the rotations of the engine crankshaft and apply the same rotations to each
additional cylinder of the compression test. The industry standard is four (4) rotations per cylinder.
9.
Test Plan Compression Test Results:
Did the cylinders exceed the specification
YES or NO
When comparing the values of all cylinders, the compression results should not vary by more than 2.5 bar or
36.25 PSI. If the difference is greater than 2.5 bar or 36.25 PSI, then the complete engine will need to be replaced.
If the test plan was not used, then document the compression test results by cylinder in the table below
1.
