TM 10-4320-307-244-18CYLINDER BLOCK INSPECT/REPAIR/REPLACE (CONT).CLEANING:Live steam used for cleaning shall not exceed 100 psi (690 kPa). Duringsteam cleaning operations, adequate ventilation, natural or forced, should beprovided.Do not direct live steam against skin.Dry cleaning solvent is potentially dangerous. Avoid repeated and prolongedbreathing of vapors and skin contact with the liquid. Do not use near openflame, arcing equipment, or other ignition source. Always wear eye protectionand protective clothing.Death or serious Injury could occur If compressed air is directed against theskin.Do not use compressed air for cleaning or drying unless the pressure is/hasbeen reduced to 30 psi (2.11 kgcm2) or less. When working with compressedair always use chip guards, eye protection, and other personal protectiveequipment.1.Clean cylinder block thoroughly with live steam. Clean all exterior and interior openings and surfaces. Be especiallycareful to dean all oil passages to make sure they are open. Use a wire bristle brush where necessary to removecarbon or other deposits from openings and surfaces. Use dry cleaning solvent as necessary to soften and removecarbon or hardened oil deposits. Dry with compressed air.2.Chase threads in engine block with appropriate tap.3.Clean cylinder liners with warm water and soap. Using a bristle brush, clean soap from cylinder liners with live steamand dry with compressed air. Apply a light coat of lubricating oil to the liners.INSPECTION:1.Thoroughly inspect cylinder block for any cracks, discoloration, distortion, rust, corrosion, or other damage. Use MIL-1-6868 magnetic particle inspection to detect cracks. If cylinder block is cracked, distorted, overheated, seriouslyrusted or corroded on machined surfaces, or exhibits other serious damage, replace engine block.2.Inspect camshaft bushing bore (1) in cylinder block; camshaftbushing bore shall not exceed 2.6255 inches (66.688 mm).3.Inspect top of cylinder block for flatness or distortion. Place astraight edge (2) along top of deck (3). Insure a 0.002 inch (0.05mm) feeler gauge will not fit between block deck and straightedge.4.Inspect upper counterbore for cylinder liner. Measure diameter ofcounterbore (A), or if depth of counterbore (B) is more than 0.412inches (10.466 mm), counterbore must be repaired by installing asleeve.5.Measure depth of counterbore at four equally spaced points atedge of bore. There must not be more than a total of 0.001 inch(0.03 mm) difference in measurements around circumference ofcounterbore.6.The ledge must be flat with top of block within 0.0014 inch (0.036 mm) overall.4-138
