ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a method of checking the tightness of exhaust valves of an internal combustion engine with the aid of an apparatus. The apparatus includes a device for forming a value LU for the uneven running of the engine and a device for metering air into a region disposed downstream of the exhaust valves as viewed in the flow direction of the exhaust gas. In the method, a first value LU1 is formed for the uneven running without air being supplied in the above-mentioned region and a second value LU2 is formed for uneven running with air being supplied in the above-mentioned region. An exhaust valve is deemed to leak when the first and the second values for the uneven running differ by more than a predetermined amount.
