ACTION REQUIRED
| Note: Apply this program to engines that do not have top deck block damage according to reuse and salvage guidelines SEBF8255. Remove all cylinder heads and liners and implement new 352-6061 Liner Seals. Note: The top deck edge of the bore for the liner must be chamfered to accommodate the 352-6061 Liner Seal. The procedure to chamfer the liner bore can be found in SEBF8255. For detailed information regarding the removal and installation of components, reference SENR6564. |
