INFORMATION ABOUT OVERHAULING
8.1 Recommendations for overhauls and tuning
• The information is laid out in sequence, according to
operational requirements, and the intervention methods have
been selected, tested and approved by the manufacturer's
technicians.
• This chapter describes procedures for checking, overhauling
and tuning units and/or individual components.
NOTE: To easily locate specic topics, the reader should refer
to the analytical index or chapter index.
• Before any intervention, the operator should lay out all
equipment and tools in such a way as to enable him to carry
out operations correctly and safely.
• The operator must comply with the specific measures
described in order to avoid errors that might cause damage
to the engine.
• Before carrying out any operation, clean the units and/or
components thoroughly and eliminate any deposits.
• Do not wash the components with steam or hot water. Use
suitable products only.
• Do not use flammable products (petrol, diesel, etc.) to
degrease or wash components. Use suitable products only.
• Apply a layer of lubricant over all surfaces of all disassembled
components to protect them against oxidation.
• Check the integrity and state of wear of all disassembled
components in order to ensure good working condition of
the engine.
• When indicated, some components are to be replaced in pairs
or together with other parts (e.g. crankshaft half-bearings/
connecting rod, piston complete with rings and gudgeon pin,
etc.).
• When indicated, some grinding operations are to be carried
out in series (e.g. grinding of cylinders, crankpins, journals,
etc.).
