WSG-1068 GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Introduction
This section covers various engine tests, adjustments, service procedures and cleaning/inspection procedures. Engine
assembly and service specifications appear at the end of the Section 02.
For engine disassembly, assembly, installation, adjustment procedures and specifications, refer to Section 02.
This WSG-1068 engine incorporates a closed-type crankcase ventilation system.
To maintain the required performance level, the fuel system, ignition system and engine must be kept in good operating
condition and meet recommended adjustment specifications.
Before replacing damaged or worn engine components such as the crankshaft, cylinder head, valve guide, valves,
camshaft or cylinder block, make sure part(s) is not serviceable.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE, DO NOT OPERATE THE
ENGINE UNTIL THE FAN BLADE HAS FIRST BEEN EXAMINED FOR POSSIBLE CRACKS OR SEPARATION.
CAUTION: Use of abrasive grinding discs to remove gasket material from the engine sealing surfaces during
repair procedures can contribute to engine damage and wear. Airborne debris and abrasive grit from
the grinding disc may enter the engine through exposed cavities causing premature wear and eventual engine
damage.
Engine Distributors Inc does not recommend using abrasive grinding discs to remove engine gasket material. Use manual
gasket scrapers for removing gasket material from the engine sealing surfaces.
Take added care to prevent scratching or gouging aluminum sealing surfaces.
