Specifications, clearances and wear limits are listed below. It should be specifically noted that the

clearances apply only when all new parts are used at the point where the various specifications apply. This

judgement of the personnel responsible for installing new parts. These wear limits are, in general, listed only

for the parts more frequently replaced in engine overhaul work. For additional information, refer to the text.
