Deferred Start-Up Engine Protection - Kohler SFGLD480 Operation & Maintenance Manual

Boroscope the combustion chambers of all the engine cylinders to see if there is water or moisture inside.

Also, check the cylinder liners or walls, cylinder head firing deck and valves for rust. If you observed any
defect or fault, report on the condition of the equipment.
Remove the covers from the exhaust manifold (water-cooled exhaust manifold) and from the intake

manifold. Check to see if there is moisture or corrosion inside. If you observed any defect or fault, report on
the condition of the equipment.
Remove the camshaft covers. Inspect camshafts and auxiliary rocker arms for moisture or rust. If you

observed any defect or fault, report on the condition of the equipment.
Remove the crankshaft covers. Inspect crankshaft, connecting rods, main bearing caps and crankcase for

moisture or rust. If you observed any defect or fault, report on the condition of the equipment.
Remove the inspection covers from the gear covers (front and rear). Check the timing gears for moisture or

rust. If you observed any defect or fault, report on the condition of the equipment.
Check turbochargers to see if their shafts rotate freely, if there is any blade damaged and if the axial

bearings are correctly lubricated. If you observed any defect or fault, report on the condition of the equipment.
Check the water pumps of the engine to determine whether they rotate freely and their belts (in the case of

belt-driven pumps) are in good condition. If you observed any defect or fault, report on the condition of the
equipment.
Check the injectors (jets) of the engine to make sure they inject fuel correctly. If you observed any defect or

fault, report on the condition of the equipment.
Inspect wiring and electric and electronic devices (e.g. pickups, connectors, coils, HV leads, actuators,

etc.) to see if they are rusty, if they are adequately protected, if leads are coiled and packed in plastic bags. If
you observed any defect or fault, report on the condition of the equipment.
Record all findings and results on form G-19-31 "Deferred Start-up Engine Inspection" included at the end of this
document.
