During the service life of an engine
it naturally accumulates sludge, gum and abrasives. An efficient
overhaul requires that these deposits be removed. It is difficult
to thoroughly clean the interior of an engine after it is
disassembled unless it is removed from the frame and put into
a cleaning vat. This is expensive, time consuming and often
inconvenient.
A good cleaning job can be done by
using the following procedure before disassembly:
- Drain oil out of crankcase.
- If equipped with oil filter, remove
cartridge and replace top of filter. If engine has "throw-away"
type filter, install new filter. DO NOT USE OLD FILTER.
- Replace oil pan drain plug.
- Pour into crankcase 2 quarts SAE
20 oil and 2 quarts Casite Tune-Up.
- Start engine and let idle, for 30
minutes at 600 to 800 RPM. Drain oil-Casite mixture and
clean out oil filter. If equipped with "throw-away"
filter, remove filter.
- Proceed with normal overhaul.
- Install new oil filter cartridge.
After the engine has been overhauled,
the oil and oil filter cartridge should be changed at about
500 miles to remove any other sludge and abrasives in the
engine.
