2. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1) Cleanliness and Care

An automobile engine is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces
with tolerances that are measured in the ten-thousanths of an inch. When any internal engine
parts are serviced, care and cleanliness are important. A liberal coating of enigne oil should be
applied to friction areas during assembly, to protect and lubricate the surfaces on initial operation.
Proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the repair
procedure. This is considered standard shop practice even if not specifically stated.
Whenever valve train components are removed for service, they should be kept in order.
They should be installed in the same locations, and with the same mating surfaces, as when they
were removed. Battery cables should be disconnected before any major work is performed on the
engine. Failure to disconnect cables may result in damage to wire harness or other electrical
parts.

2) On-Engine Service

- Disconnect the negative battery cable before removing or installing any electrical unit, or
when a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with exposed electrical terminals.
Disconnecting this cable will help prevent personal injury and damage to the vehicle.
The ignition must also be in LOCK unless otherwise noted.
Notice Any time the air cleaner is removed, the intake opening
- Any time the air cleaner is removed, the intake opening should be covered. This will protect
against accidental entrance of foreign material, which could follow the intake passage into
the cylinder and cause extensive damage when the engine is started.g
