60. Service Prior to Assembly

Service Prior to Assembly
- Dirt or debris will cause premature wear of the rebuilt engine. Clean all the components. Refer to Cleanliness and Care.
- Use the proper tools to measure components when inspecting for excessive wear. Components that are not within the manufacturers specifications must be repaired or replaced.
- When the components are installed into an engine, return the components to their original location, position and direction. Refer to Separating Parts.
- During assembly, lubricate all the moving parts with clean engine oil. This will provide initial lubrication when the engine is first started.
