H. Specific engine parts must be lubricated prior to installation. If parts are not correctly
lubricated, or if an unapproved lubricant is used, engine parts could become scored before the
engine oil has lubricated the engine during the first cycle of operation. This scoring can cause
premature part failure, or, in some cases, engine failure. As preventive action, during engine
component replacement, apply the approved lubricant for specified components identified in
the latest revision of Service Instruction No. SI-1059.
I. If an engine start is required to complete a maintenance procedure, make sure that if you do
not see oil pressure (greater than 0) indication within 10 seconds after engine start or oil
pressure does not continue to increase above the published minimum pressure in the next 20
seconds, stop the engine. Identify and correct the problem before another engine start.
J. Complete the Operational Ground Check prior to and after each inspection, after
maintenance, and engine assembly. Refer to Chapter 72-00.

7. General Engine Inspection Criteria

accessory housing with:

• Replace the crankcase, oil sump, or accessory housing if there is any scratch, ding, dent, or
pit, that exceeds 0.050 in. (1.27 mm) depth
• Replace the crankcase if the dowels do not fully seat into the crankcase holes
