Engine: Tools and Equipment



Tools and Equipment

Work in a clean and well-lit area. Have the following components available before you begin to work:
^ A suitable parts cleaning tank
^ A compressed air supply
^ Trays, in order to keep the parts and the fasteners organized
^ An adequate set of hand tools
An approved engine repair stand will prevent personal injury or damage to the engine components. The special tools are designed in order to quickly and safely accomplish the operations for which the tools are intended. Using the tools will minimize possible damage to the engine components. Precision measuring tools are required for the inspection of certain critical components. Torque wrenches are needed for the correct assembly of various parts.
