Engine Prelube
Many service and inspection procedures require rotation of the crankshaft. Engine prelube is recommended when the crankshaft is rotated during normal maintenance operations. Normal maintenance operations include adjusting the valves and starting the engine.
Use a prelubrication and use the manual barring group to rotate the crankshaft for service work. The prelube pump should remain on during crankshaft rotation. Damage can result if the crankshaft is rotated on dry bearing surfaces.

The prelube pump should not be operated continuously for extended periods of time. If, during repairs, the prelube pump has run continuously for a period of three hours or more, it will be necessary to remove any oil that may have collected in the cylinders and/or above the valves. |
