Note.
The special coil screw lock inserter tools
listed in special tool table 2-1 must be used when
installing the self-locking thread type inserts .
These special inserters are further identified by
painted areas marked either with a red handle or
a red stripe around the body .
1. Thread new insert (A) into the threaded guide of
until insert is flush with the end of the tool.
2. Insert the pilot of the screw thread inserter (B) - 5120-
797-2407 into the threaded hole in cylinder, with face
of the inserter resting solidly against the casting as
shown.
3. Slowly turn handle (C) of pilot clockwise until no
further resistance is felt. The insert will then be flush
with cylinder casting. Remove inserter.

6-6. Assembly
a. General.
Extreme care must be exercised in
all assembly operations to insure satisfactor y
engine performance. General rules for assembly
are outlined below. Step-by-step procedures fo r
assembling the various components are covered
in the paragraph relating to the specific com -
ponent .
b. Precautionary Rules .
(1) Cleanliness is essential in all assembly
operations. Dirt and dust, even in minut e
quantities, are abrasive. Parts must be cleaned as
specified and kept clean. Wrap or cover part s
and components when assembly procedures ar e
mot immediately completed .
(2) Coat all bearings, shafts, and all contact
surface s
with engin e
oil
(OE)
to
insure
lubrication of parts during initial engine starting.
(3) Always use new gaskets and preformed
packings when assembling engine .
(4) Use flat washers under all lockwashers ,
nuts and bolts to protect aluminum surfaces .
(5) Most bolts, cap screws, and nuts mus t
be secured with lockwashers, tab washers ,
locking wire ,
or cotter pins, depending o n
method of locking specified .
(6) Whenever a locking method is no t
specified for bolts and cap screws, the mid-grip
helical-coil threaded inserts into which the bolt s
or screws are threaded serve as the lockin g
device .
(7) It is also important that all hardware be
tightened to the specified torque. Refer to torque
specifications, paragraph 6-7 .
6-7. Torque Specification s
a. Standard Torques for Studs and Bolts .
Apply a light film of anti-seize thread compound
threads, and contact face of nuts, bolt heads, and
cap screws. Avoid excessive amounts of com -
pound in blind tapped holes .
