temperature-sensing elements from the engine and immersing the
elements in a vessel containing controlled-temperature hot oil and
recording the temperature at which the elements activate.
c.
Correct functioning of the high and pre-high coolant-fluid outlet
temperature circuit shall be demonstrated by removing the
