OIL FILTER (Spin-On Type)

ENGINE DIVISION SERVICE MANUAL TM 5-4210-230-14&P-1 ENGINE ENGINE LUBRICATION PRIMING When assembling the overhauled engine, it is necessary to thoroughly lubricate the various running parts with clean engine oil to assure initial lubrication when engine is first started. However, to further make certain that complete initial lubrication is available, the engine lubricating system should be pressure primed or charged with oil. The oil leak detector, SE-1632, can be used for this purpose. Attach the line from the oil leak detector to a suitable fitting such as the main oil gallery plug located on the left side of the crankcase. Inject sufficient oil into the engine to fill the oil filter and charge the entire system. Use only clean engine oil of the grade to be used for engine break-in. New or overhauled engines that have been in storage over an extended period should also be primed in a similar manner. In addition to priming engines that have been stored, the engines should be turned over a few times while being primed. NOTE: Disconnect the coil primary wire when performing this operation to prevent the engine from starting. When the priming procedure is used, make certain the oil level is checked before the engine is put into service. Caution should be taken so as not to overfill or have insufficient oil as a result of using the pressure priming procedure. Priming the engine will minimize the possibility of scuffing or heat buildup in the areas of friction, which could lead to immediate or eventual failures. OIL FILTER (Spin-On Type) Replace the oil filter by using the following procedure: 1. Remove oil filter assembly by turning counterclockwise with the hands or a suitable tool. Clean the filter mounting pad. 2. Coat the gasket on the new filter with a film of grease. 3. Place the new filter in position on the center tube. Hand tighten 1/2 to 3/4 turn after the gasket first contacts the base of the mounting pad. 4. Start engine and run for at least five minutes to warm oil and check for leaks. Also check engine oil level. ENGINE MOUNTINGS Engine mountings may vary between vehicle models. The mountings illustrated are both of the two-piece insulator type. Front Mountings The engine front mounting shown in Figure 6 utilizes a two-piece insulator with sleeves. When assembling, position component parts as shown and tighten hex head bolt to 75 to 85 ft. lbs. Fig. 6 Engine Front Mounting with Two-Piece Insulator 1.
