Overhaul Tips
Aluminum has become extremely popular for use in engines, due to its weight savings.
Observe the following precautions when handling aluminum parts:
Never hot tank aluminum parts. The caustic hot tank solution will eat the aluminum
Remove all aluminum parts (identification tag, etc.) from engine parts prior to
tanking
Always coat threads lightly with engine oil or anti-seize compounds before
installation, to prevent seizure
Never over tighten bolts in the block or spark plugs especially in aluminum heads
When assembling the engine, any parts that will be exposed to frictional contact
must be pre-lubed to provide lubrication at initial start-up. Any product specifically
formulated for this purpose can be used, but engine oil is not recommended as a
pre-lube in most cases
When semi-permanent (locked, but removable) installation of bolts or nuts is
desired, threads should be cleaned and coated with Loctite® or another similar,
commercial non-hardening sealant.
Cleaning
Before the engine and its components are inspected, they must be thoroughly cleaned.
You will need to remove any engine varnish, oil sludge and/or carbon deposits from all of
the components to ensure an accurate inspection.
Scraping head gasket
Most of the cleaning process can be carried out with common hand tools and solvents.
Carbon deposits can be chipped away using a hammer and a hard wooden chisel.
