ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE - Continued
2.
Apply fuel under pressure, 60–80 PSI (413–552 kPa), to inlet on secondary filter with external fuel source.
Allow fuel to flow freely from fuel return line until a steady stream without air bubbles is observed.
END OF TASK
LUBRICATION
Prelubrication of Oil Gallery with Pressure Lubricator
CAUTION
Prelubricate any stored or repaired engine prior to start-up. Oil gallery and associated
components will have insufficient oil during the time lag following start-up. Bearing damage
from lack of lubrication could result.
1.
Remove plug from engine main oil gallery and connect lubricator hose.
2.
Remove rocker arm covers, refer to (WP 0052) , (WP 0053) , and (WP 0054).
3.
Using a positive displacement pump set at 25–35 PSI (172–242 kPa), pump in lubricating oil until oil flows
from rocker arms.
4.
Disconnect lubricator hose and install oil gallery plug.
5.
Install rocker arm covers, refer to (WP 0052) , (WP 0053) , and (WP 0054).
6.
Check and fill crankcase to proper level, refer to applicable vehicle lubrication order.
Prelubrication of Oil Gallery without Pressure Lubricator
1.
Remove rocker arm covers, refer to (WP 0052) , (WP 0053) , and (WP 0054).
2.
Pour lubricating oil on rocker arm assemblies.
3.
Install rocker arm covers, refer to (WP 0052) , (WP 0053) , and (WP 0054).
4.
Check and fill crankcase to proper level, refer to applicable vehicle lubrication order.
Prelubrication of Turbocharger
1.
Disconnect oil supply line at turbocharger bearing (center) housing.
2.
Fill bearing housing cavity with oil while rotating assembly by hand to coat internal bearing surfaces with oil.
3.
Connect turbocharger oil supply line.
END OF TASK
ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE
CAUTION
Do not energize starter for more than 30 seconds at one time. Allow starter motor to cool
for two to three minutes between operations to prevent overheating and damage.
1.
Crank engine with governor in NO FUEL position until an oil pressure reading registers on gage.
2.
Start and run engine at idle. Oil pressure gage should read 10 PSI (69 kPa) for adequate lubrication.
