Clean and Inspect for Reuse

TOC

 WARNING 

When using a steam cleaner, wear safety glasses or a face shield as well as protective clothing. Hot steam can cause serious personal injury.
 WARNING 

When using solvents, acids or alkaline materials for cleaning, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for use. Wear goggles and protective clothing to reduce the possibility of personal injury.

Use a wire brush to clean the crankshaft pilot bore.

Use steam or solvent to clean the flywheel. Dry with compressed air.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Inspect for nicks or burrs.

Use Scotch-Brite™ 7448, Part Number 3823258 or equivalent, to remove small nicks and burrs.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


 WARNING 

Do not use a cracked flywheel. A cracked flywheel can break and cause serious personal injury or property damage.

Inspect the flywheel for cracks.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Inspect the flywheel ring gear teeth for cracks and chips.

If the ring gear teeth are cracked or broken, the ring gear must be replaced.

Measure

TOC

Bore Runout


Use dial indicator gauge (1), Part Number 3376050 or equivalent, and dial gauge attachment (2), Part Number ST-1325, to inspect the flywheel bore (3) and face (4) runout.

Install the attachment to the flywheel housing.

Install the gauge on the attachment.

Install the contact tip of the indicator against the inside diameter of the flywheel bore.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Use the accessory driveshaft to rotate the crankshaft one complete revolution (360 degrees).

The total indicator reading must not exceed 0.127 mm [0.0050 in].

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


 WARNING 

This component or assembly weighs greater than 23 kg [50 lb]. To prevent serious personal injury, be sure to have assistance or use appropriate lifting equipment to lift this component or assembly.

Remove the flywheel if the total indicator reading is greater than the specification.
