| • | A suitable parts cleaning tank |
| • | A compressed air supply |
| • | Trays, in order to keep the parts and the fasteners organized |
| • | An adequate set of hand tools |
An approved engine repair stand will prevent personal injury or damage
to the engine components. The special tools are designed in order to quickly
and safely accomplish the operations for which the tools are intended. Using
the tools will minimize possible damage to the engine components. Precision
measuring tools are required for the inspection of certain critical components.
Torque wrenches are needed for the correct assembly of various parts.
| • | Special tools are listed and illustrated throughout this section, with a complete listing at the end of the section. These tools, or their equivalents, are designed to quickly and safely accomplish the operations for which they are intended. The
use of these special tools also minimize possible damage to engine components. Some precision measuring tools are required for inspection of certain critical components. Torque wrenches and a torque angle meter are necessary for the proper tightening of various
fasteners. |
| • | To properly service the engine assembly, the following items should be readily available: |
