Engine: Service Precautions

^ All work should be done in a clean well lit area.
^ Other necessary items include:
- A parts cleaning tank.
- A compressed air supply
- Trays to keep parts and tools organized
- An adequate set of hand tools

An approved engine stand will help prevent personal injury or damage to engine components.

Special tools or their equivalents are specially designed to quickly and safely accomplish the operations for which they are intended. The use of these tools will also prevent damage to engine components.

Some precision measuring tools are necessary for inspection of critical components. Torque wrenches are necessary for the correct assembly of the engine.
