11-8
11-6 100 HOUR INSPECTION (continued)
Multi-segment "V" Band Clamps, Figure 11-7. Clamps located between turbocharger and
tailpipe should first be cleaned using crocus cloth on the outer band of clamp assembly.
Inspect spot weld areas for cracks and looseness, inspect the corner radii of clamp inner
segments for cracks using a flashlight and mirror. If clamp has been removed and
reinstalled, inspect inner segment spacing. If inner segments contact after clamp assembly
has been torqued, the clamp assembly must be replaced. Inspect clamp outer band
flatness using a straightedge, especially within two inches of spot weld tabs that retain the
"T" bolt fastener, clearance should be less than .062 of an inch. Clearances in excess of
.062 of an inch are cause for rejection. Inner segment and outer band contact must be
100%.
NOTE . . . When replacement of clamp is required, install new clamp insuring "V" segments
go over exhaust flanges, using a rawhide or plastic mallet, tap clamp circumferentially as
clamp is torqued to 40 inch pounds.
