40. Service Prior to Assembly

Service Prior to Assembly
^ Dirt or debris will cause premature wear of a rebuilt engine. Clean all components.
^ Use the proper tools to measure the components when checking for excessive wear. Components that are not within the manufacturer's specifications must be replaced or repaired.
^ When components are reinstalled into an engine, return the components to their original position, location, and direction.
^ During assembly, lubricate all moving parts with clean engine oil or engine assembly lubricant, unless otherwise specified. This will provide the initial lubrication when the engine is first started.
