Metal particles in the lube oil may indicate a serious condition that requires immediate attention. If metal particles are found in the grid of the detector, do not start the engine until the source of the particles is found and the condition is corrected. Failure to do so could cause severe damage to the engine. |
- Inspect the grid and the O-ring seals for good condition. Obtain new parts, if necessary.
Note: To replace the O-ring seals and the grid, use the 165-5690 Particle Detector Kit .
- Install the clean, dry grid and the O-ring seal for the grid.
- Install the cover and the O-ring seal for the cover. Torque the cover to 54 N·m (40 lb ft).
