(1) Inspect mounting surfaces and surfaces in contact with gaskets, seals, or machined surfaces. Look for

burrs or scratches which might damage parts or seals upon installation. Remove any defects found.

(2) Remove drain plugs from engine system components and inspect sediment sticking to plug. Grit or fine

metal particles may indicate actual or potential component failure. A few fine particles are normal. This

inspection will help to show defective parts before internal inspection of the components.

other parts of the vehicle. Inspect fitting threads for damage. Replace any defective parts. After assembly

and during initial vehicle operation period, check for leaks. Inspect wiring harnesses for chafed or burned

insulation. Inspect terminal connectors for loose connections and broken parts. Visually inspect castings

and weldments for cracks.
