Engine testing in the United States has been updated with the new centralized testing procedure in 40 CFR 1065. This regulation introduces a variety of new checks and tests required for certification testing. Upgrading existing equipment to run these tests in some cases introduces error or does not follow the spirit of the regulation. The term “good engineering practice” is used within the regulation to insure users make decisions on differences or unclear implementation. This paper addresses some of the recommended modifications and evaluates the differences in the results with and without the modifications.
