M. Put the ends of the arbors on the parallel blocks.
N. For the squareness check, measure the clearance at the four check points in Figure 41 where
the arbors rest on the parallel blocks using a feeler gage. Record the measurement in the
Connecting Rod Inspection Checklist earlier in this chapter
O. Compare the clearance between each arbor and the parallel blocks against the values in the
latest revision of the Service Table of Limits - SSP-1776. If out of tolerance, replace the
connecting rod and examine the crankshaft to make sure the crankshaft is not damaged.

13. Tappet Inspection

NOTICE: The roller tappets are not field repairable and no disassembly is allowed. If the engine
has over 2000 operating hours, replace the roller tappets. Otherwise, during
maintenance, complete a visual inspection of each roller tappet (Figure 42) for integrity
and free rotation of the roller which are acceptable to return in-use roller tappets to
service. Replace a damaged or corroded roller tappet or one that does not turn freely
with a serviceable tappet. Refer to the latest revisions of Service Instruction Nos. SI-
1011 and SI-1514.

(2) Mark a 1/8 in. drill bit to limit the depth of the drilled hole to 0.6 in. (15.14 mm).
CAUTION
(3) Drill a 1/8 in. (3.18 mm) diameter
hole through the center of the
installed alignment dowel.
(4) Fill the new drilled hole with oil.
(5) Put a piece of 1/8 in. diameter drill
rod in the drilled hole.
