procedure
be adopted where an
engine
has been
laid
up
for
a
considerable period before it is again
put
into
service.
With the engine
thoroughly
warmed
through,
this
checkover
should
comprise
the
following
points.
1.
Drain

oil sump. Renew
lubricating
oil
filter
element
or
canister.
(Refer
to
Page L.5
or
L.6)
.
2.
Remove the
rocker
assembly,
check
that
the
cylinder
head nuts are
to
the
correct
torque.
(Refer
to Page
B.2).
3.
Refit

with the engine hot, to the
setting
given on Page B.2.
It
is
assumed
that

equipment
will
have
already
been
checked
for
such
points
as
dynamo
rate
of
charge, effectiveness
of
connections
and
circuits,
etc.
ProtecUon
of
an engine
not
in
service
The
recommendations
given
below
are
to
ensure
that
damage
is prevented when an

instructions
for
the
use
of
POWERPART
