Maintenance Precautions
‘Observe the following precautions when conducting
‘engine maintenance in order to bath safeguard against
engine damage and maintain the reliability of the
‘engine performance
+ When raising or supporting the engine, do not
allow the jacks to come into contact with the oil
pan,
When lowering the engine, use an engine pallet,
wood frame or other such means to support it at
the engine foot and flywheel housing,
+ When the intake eyetem has been removed, cover
the air intake to prevent foreign matter from
entering the cylinders. If foreign matter is allowed
to enter, the cylinders and other parts may be
seriously damaged when the engine is run.
+ When conducting maintenance work on the engine
body, be absolutely sure to disconnect the battery
rounding cable. When power needs to be
supplied to the engine during inspections or other
suich johs, exercise care sinca shor-riruiting may
occur.
+ Apply plenty of engine oil to the sliding surfaces in
order to protect and lubricate the sliding surfaces
during the initial operation,
+ When the valve train parts, pistons, piston rings,
connecting rods, connecting rod bearings and
crankshat’ joumal bearings have been
disassembled, arrange them in sequence and
tore them,
+ When re-mounting the parts, mount the same parts
in the same positions where they were prior to
disassembly.
+ Whenever the gaskets. oil seals. O-rings and other
such parts are disassembled, be absolutely sure to
replace them with new parts.
+ When using liquid gaskets, remove all the old
ones, wash the parts where they were used to
remove any ol, grease, moisture and.
contamination, and then apply the designated
liquid gaekots and aecomble the part.
+ Assemble the parts within 7 minutes after applying
the liquid gaskets
If more than 7 minutes have elapsed, remove the
liquid gaskets, and re-apply ther,
+ During the assembly and mounting processes,
tighten the parts to the specified tightening torque,
and ensure that the parts are mounted properly.
Precautions for jobs inherent to this engine
In the fuel system, all the holes and clearances inside
the injector that serves as the fuel passages and other
parts are finished to a high level of precision. For this,
reason, these parts are particularly sensitive to foreign
matter, and the entry of foreign matter may lead to
malfunctioning or other trouble. Therefore, take every
moane possiblo to koop these holos and cloarancos
{ree from foreign matter.
