60. Service Prior to Assembly



Service Prior to Assembly

^ Dirt or debris will cause premature wear of the rebuilt engine. Clean all the components.
^ 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.
^ During assembly, lubricate all the moving parts with clean engine oil. This will provide initial lubrication when the engine is first started.
