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