1. Be sure to measure the compression
pressure on all cylinder.
2. The compression pressure varies with
change of engine r.p.m.. This makes it
necessary to check engine r.p.m.. at the
time of measuring the compression
pressure.
3. It is important to measure the compression
pressure at regular intervals to obtain the
data on the gradual change of the
compression pressure.
4. The compression pressure would be slightly
higher than the standard in a new or
overhauled engine owing to breaking-in of
the piston rings, valve seats, etc. It drops as
the engine components wear down.
(3) BASIC PRECAUTION FOR DISASSEMBLY
AND ASSEMBLY
This section outlines basic precautions
recommended by Mitsubishi that should
always be observed.
1. Disassembly
(1)Always use tools that are in good condition
and be sure you understand how to use them
before performing any job.
(2)Use an overhaul stand or a work bench, if
necessary. Also, use bins to keep engine parts
in order of removal.
(3)Parts must be restored to their respective
components from which they were removed at
disassembly. This means that all parts must
be set aside separately in groups,each
marked for its component, so that the same
combination or set can be
reproduced at assembly.
(4)Pay attention to marks on assemblies,
components and parts for their positions
or directions. Put on marks, if necessary,
(5)Carefully check each part or component
for any sign of faulty condition during
removal or cleaning. The part will tell you
how it acted or what was abnormal about
it more accurately during removal or
cleaning.
(6)When lifting or carrying a part too heavy
or too awkward for one parson to handle,
get another person’s help and, if neces-
sary, use a jack or a hoist.
2. Assembly
(1)Wash all parts, except for oil seals,
O-rings, rubber sheets, etc., with cleaning
solvent and dry them with pressure air.
(2)Always use tools that are in good condi-
tion and be sure you understand how to
use them before performing any job.
(3)Use only good-quality lubricants. Be sure
to apply a coat of oil, grease or sealant to
parts as specified.
(4)Be sure to use a torque wrench to tighten
parts for which torques are specified.
(5)Any time the engine is assembled, new
gaskets and O-rings must be installed.
