– Before any intervention, the operator should lay out all equi-
pment and tools in such a way as to enable him to carry out
operations correctly and safely.
– For safety and convenience, you are advised to place the
engine on a special rotating stand for engine overhauls.
– Before proceeding with operations, make sure that appro-
priate safety conditions are in place, in order to safeguard
the operator and any persons involved.
– In order to fix assemblies and/or components securely, the
operator must tighten the fastening parts in a criss-cross or
alternating pattern.
– Assemblies and/or components with a specific tightening
torque must initially be fastened at a level lower than the
assigned value, and then subsequently tightened to the final
torque.
– Apply a layer of lubricant over all surfaces to protect them
against oxidation.
– Check all components for intactness, wear and tear, seizure,
cracks and/or faults to be sure that the engine is in good
working condition.
– Some mechanical parts must be replaced en bloc, together
with their coupled parts (e.g. valve guide/valve etc.) as spe-
cified in the spare parts catalogue.
