INSPECTION AND REPAIR
Shaft Seal Assembly
- The shaft seal assembly is precision-machined and its critical parts are finished to extremely close tolerances. The assembly
- must be handled with great care, its slip face demanding particularly careful handling.
- The shaft seal can not be reused. Install a new shaft seal at reassembly.
- Take care not to scratch or otherwise dam- age the shaft seal face.
- Keep the shaft seal free from lint and dirt.
Front Valve Plate and Front Cylinder Head
Rear Valve Plate and Rear Cylinder Head
- Check the front and rear valve plates for scratching and bending.
- Check the front and rear valve plates and the front and rear cylinder heads for nicks and burrs on the sealing surfaces.
- Buff or replace the valve plates and cylinder heads if nicks and burrs are present.
- Check that the front and rear valve plate passages are free from obstructions.
- Check the front and rear valve plates and the cylinder heads for cracks.
- Replace the valve plates and cylinder heads if cracks are present.
INSTALLATION
17. Cylinder and shaft
- Clamp the cylinder shaft assembly in a vise. The rear side of the cylinder shaft assembly must be facing up.
