and emery dust before being assembled.
2.
The spherical seating faces of the manifold
to
downtake pipe joints may be lightly dressed
with fine emery cloth before assembly.
3. Jointing compound must not be used on any
of the manifold joints. The spherical joint clamp
nuts of the manifold to
downtake pipes should be
lubricated with oil to ensure that the threads do
not bind.
4. Smear the spherical seating faces of the
sealing rings and the grooves in the spherical
clamps with a graphite lubricant to assist in
correct alignment when assembling.
5.
All nuts and bolts should be tightened to the
standard specified torque loadings (see Chapter
P).
Manifold setscrews must be tightened evenly,
starting from the centre and working outwards.
6.
After the engine has been run sufficiently to
reach normal operating temperature, the manifold
setscrews and spherical joint clamp bolts should
be checked and if necessary, tightened again to
the specified torque loadings (see Chapter
P).
