b) If the engine has stopped for
some days, use a mixture of
high-viscosity oil (steam engine
cylinder oil, ISO VG 1000/1500)
and bearing oil. The ratio is two
thirds ISO VG 1000/1500 to one
third bearing oil.
Note: A list of suppliers for ISO VG
1000/1500 high viscosity oils is
given in Table 1.

elastic studs.
10) Tighten the round nuts (1) equally with
a round bar.
11) Measure the distance (X1, X2) between
the edges of the bearing shells and the
bearing cover.
12) For new bearing shells, the dimensions
X1 plus X2 must be between 1.18 mm
and 1.34 mm.
