Special tools are listed and illustrated throughout this section with
a complete listing at the end of the section. These tools, or their equivalents,
are specially designed to quickly and safely accomplish the operations for
which they are intended. The use of these special tools will also minimize
possible damage to engine components. Some precision measuring tools are
required for inspection of certain critical components. Torque wrenches and
a torque angle meter are necessary for the proper tightening of various fasteners.
To properly service the engine assembly, the following items should
be readily available:
• | Approved eye protection and safety gloves |
• | A clean, well lit, work area |
• | A suitable parts cleaning tank |
• | A compressed air supply |
• | Trays or storage containers to keep parts and fasteners organized |
• | An adequate set of hand tools |
• | Approved engine repair stand |
• | An approved engine lifting device that will adequately support
the weight of the components |
