Cleaning and Inspection
Clean all parts with parts cleaning solvent and dry
with compressed air. All nut and screw threads
coated with thread locking material must be thor-
oughly cleaned before assembly. When using a
thread locking product, be sure to prime the
threads with Locquic Primer.
Examine the upper and lower thrust mounts, and
replace if deteriorated or damaged.
Before checking the exhaust housing for distor-
tion, thoroughly clean the top and bottom mating
surfaces and remove all sealer and corrosion.
Check the exhaust housing for distortion. Place
the housing on a surface plate. Use a dial indica-
tor to check flatness by measuring the run-out on
the top edge of housing. The maximum allowable
run-out is 0.009 in. (0.228 mm). If you do not have
access to a dial indicator and surface plate, seek
the services of a machine shop. DO NOT attempt
to straighten a distorted housing; replace it.
