The coolant anti-freeze contains a corrosion inhibitor
which helps prevent damage to the metal surfaces inside
the cooling system. Without this inhibitor, the coolant
would 'attack' the metals and the resulting corrosion
would cause blockages in the cooling system leading to
engine overheating and.damage. Always use the correct
anti-freeze as specified in the Owner's Handbook.
Never use a methanol based anti-freeze as this does not
contain the required corrosion inhibition properties.
Distilled water must be used with the anti-freeze (see
specification for anti-freeze) in the cooling system.
If hard water is used in the system, it causes scale
accumulation in the water passages, and considerably
reduces the efficiency of the cooling system. Reduced
cooling system efficiency may lead to the engine
overheating and engine damage.
Cleaning Components
A high flash-point solvent is recommended to reduce fire
hazard.
Always follow container directions regarding the use of
any solvent.
Always
use
the
recommended
equivalent.
Do
not
use degreasing
containing items which could be damaged by the use of
this process. Whenever possible, clean components and
the area
surrounding
them
observe scrupulous cleanliness when cleaning dismantled
components.
Lubrication
The majority of engine wear occurs while the engine is
warming up and before all the rubbing surfaces have an
adequate lubrication film. During assembly, oil or grease
<whichever is more suitable) should be applied to any
rubbing surface, which has lost its, lubrication film. Old
grease and dirty oil should be cleaned off. This is because
used lubricants
,
will have lost some lubrication qualities
and may contain abrasive foreign particles.
Use recommended lubricants. Some oils and greases in
particular should be used only in certain applications and
may be harmful if used in an application for which they
are not intended.

Joints and Joint Faces
Assemble joints dry unless otherwise specified in this
manual.
If gaskets and/or jointing compound is recommended for
use, remove all traces of old jointing material prior to re
assembly. Do not use a tool which will damage the joint
faces and smooth out any scratches or burrs on the joint
faces using an oil stone. Do not allow dirt or jointing
material to enter any tapped holes.
Gaskets, 0-rings
Do not re-use a gasket or 0-ring once it has been in
service. The mating surfaces around the gasket should be
free of foreign matter and perfectly smooth to avoid oil or
compression leaks.
Liquid Gasket, Non-permanent Locking Agent
Follow
manufacturer's
preparing surfaces where these compounds will be used.
Apply sparingly as excessive amounts of sealer may block
engine oil passages and cause serious damage.
Prior to re-assembly, blow through any pipes, channels or
crevices with compressed air.

Castellated nuts must not be slackened back to accept a

Do not allow oil or grease to enter blind threaded holes.
The hydraulic action on screwing in the bolt or stud could
split the housing.
Always tighten a nut or bolt to the recommended torque
figure.
Damaged or corroded thread� can affect the
torque reading.
Unless specified, threaded fixings must always be fitted
dry (no lubrication).
