Pressure testing
PDM uses a process of pressure testing in which the cylinder head is sealed, immersed in a tank of water, pressurised and inspected for any leaks.
The process
Pressure testing
When a pressurised cylinder head is immersed in water, a leak or crack cannot be overlooked.
In order for the sealing plates to seat correctly and the leak or crack to be correctly located and identified, the cylinder head must be clean.
