3-58. ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION (Cont).
g. Inspection
(1) The purpose of parts inspection is to determine which parts can be used and which must be
replaced. Although the engine overhaul specifications given throughout the text will aid in determining which
parts should be replaced, considerable judgment must be exercised.
(2) The guiding factors in determining the usability of worn parts, which are otherwise in good
condition, is the clearance between the mating parts and the rate of wear on each of the parts. If it is
determined that the rate of wear will maintain the clearances within the specified maximum allowable until the
next overhaul period, the reinstallation of used parts may be justified. Rate of wear of a part is determined by
dividing the amount the part has worn by the hours it has operated.
(3) Many service replacement parts are available in various undersize and/or oversize as well as
standard sizes. Also, service kits for reconditioning certain parts and service sets which include all of the parts
necessary to complete a particular repair job are available.
(4) A complete discussion of the proper methods of precision measuring and inspection are outside the
scope of this manual. However, every shop kit should be equipped with standard gages, such as dial bore
gages, dial indicators, and inside and outside micrometers.
(5) In addition to measuring the used parts after cleaning, the parts should be carefully inspected for
cracks, scoring, chipping and other defects.
h. Assembly
(1) Following cleaning and inspection, the engine should be assembled using new parts as determined
by the inspection.
(2) Use of the proper equipment and tools makes the job progress faster and produces better results.
Likewise, a suitable working space with proper lighting must be provided.
(3) Keep the working space, the equipment, tools and engine assemblies and parts clean at all times.
The area where assembly operations take place should, if possible, be located away from the disassembly and
cleaning operation. Also, any machining operations should be removed as far Impossible from the assembly
area.
