Cleanliness and Care
An automobile engine is a combination of many of the following
surfaces:
The tolerances of these surfaces are measured in the
ten-thousandths of an inch. When you service any internal engine
part, cleanliness and care are important. Apply a liberal coating
of engine oil to the friction areas during assembly in order to
protect and lubricate the surfaces on initial operation. Throughout
this section, practice proper cleaning and protection procedures to
the machined surfaces and to the friction areas.
Whenever you remove the valve train components, keep the
components in order. Follow this procedure in order to install the
components in the same locations and with the same mating surfaces
as when removed.
Warning: Refer to
Battery Disconnect Warning .
Disconnect the negative battery cables before you perform any
major work on the engine.
