Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

58. Service Prior to Assembly




Service Prior to Assembly

* Dirt will cause premature wear of the rebuilt engine. Clean all the components.
* Use the proper tools to measure the components when checking for excessive wear. Components not within the manufacturer's specification must be repaired or replaced.
* When the components are re-installed into an engine, return the components to the original location, position, and direction.
* During assembly, lubricate all the moving parts with clean engine oil, unless otherwise specified. The engine oil will provide the initial lubrication when the engine is first started.
