END OF TASK
REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT
Scope
Procedures for repair will be the same for a great percentage of parts and components. To avoid repetition
of instructions, general procedures for repair are detailed in paragraphs below. After repair, clean all parts
thoroughly to prevent metal chips from repair operations, or abrasives used in repair operations, from
entering working parts of the engine.
Castings
CAUTION
Avoid damage to casting while using welding equipment. Refer to TM 9-237 for
welding instructions.
1.
Replace all castings that are cracked or do not conform to tolerances specified in repair specifications found
in (WP 0106).
WARNING
Cleaning solvent is TOXIC and flammable. Wear protective goggles and gloves; use only
in a well-ventilated area; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothes; and do not breathe
vapors. Keep away from heat or flame. Never smoke when using cleaning solvent. Failure
to comply may result in injury, illness, or death to personnel.
2.
Repair minor damage to machined surfaces with a fine file, emery cloth, or crocus cloth dipped in
cleaning solvent.
3.
Replace all castings on which machined surfaces are burred or nicked to the point of impairing subsequent
assembly or operation.
4.
Repair minor warpage of amounting flange or gasket surface by working surface across a sheet of emery
cloth held tightly on a surface plate or a flat surface. Finish repair by using crocus cloth in a similar manner.
5.
Replace castings having flanges which are warped to the point of impairing assembly or operation.
NOTE
Pipe-plug threads in castings must be in good condition to prevent oil or water leakage.
6.
Repair damaged pipe or cap screw threads in tapped holes with a thread tap.
