OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE—C.4hose clips where necessary and inspect headertank water level.9.Check water pump belt for tension.10.Carry out test to check general performance ofengine.11.Check engine mounting bolts for tightness.Thereafter maintenance periods should be inaccordance with the instructions given on this page.It is assumed that electrical equipment will havealready been checked for such points as dynamo rate ofcharge, effectiveness of connections and circuits, etc.PROTECTION OF AN ENGINE NOT INSERVICEThe recommendations given below are to ensure thatdamage is prevented when an engine is removed fromservice for an extended period. Use these proceduresimmediately the engine is removed from service. Theinstructions for the use of POWERPART products aregiven on the outside of each container.1.Thoroughly clean the outside of the engine.2.Where a preservative fuel is to be used. drain thefuel system and till with the preservative fuel.POWERPART Lay-Up 1can be added to thenormal fuel to change it to a preservative fuel. Ifpreservative fuel is not used, the system can bekept charged with normal fuel, but this will have tobe drained and discarded at the end of the storageperiod together with the fuel filter element.3.Run the engine until it is warm. Correct any fuel,lubricating oil or air leakage. Stop the engine anddrain the lubricating oil sump.4.Renew the lubricating oil filter canister or element.5.Fill the sump to the full mark on the dipstick withclean new lubricating oil or with a correctpreservative fluid. POWERPART Lay-Up 2 can beadded to the lubricating oil to give protectionagainst corrosion during the period in storage. If apreservative fluid is used, this must be drained andnormallubricating oil used when the engine is returned toservice.6.Drain the cooling system, see Page C.5. To giveprotection against corrosion, it is better to fill thecooling system with a coolant that has a corrosioninhibitor. If frost protection is needed, use anantifreeze mixture. If no frost protection is needed,use water with an approved corrosion inhibitormixture.7.Run the engine for a short period to send thelubricating oil and coolant around the engine.8.Remove the atomisers and spray POWERPARTLay-Up 2into each cylinder bore. If this is notavailable, clean engine lubricating oil will give adegree of protection. Spray into the cylinder bores140 ml (1/4 pint) of lubricating oil divided evenlybetween the four cylinders.9.Slowly turn the crankshaft one revolution and theninstall the atomisers complete with new seatwashers.10.Remove the air filter and spray POWERPARTLay-Up 2into the induction manifold. Replace airfilter and seal with waterproof tape.11.Remove the exhaust pipe Spray POWERPARTLay-Up 2into the exhaust manifold. Seal themanifold with waterproof tape.12.Remove the lubricating oil filler cap. SprayPOWERPART Lay-Up 2around the rocker shaftassembly. Fit the filler cap.13.Disconnect the battery and put it into safe storagein a fully charged condition. Before the battery isput into storage, give the battery terminalsprotection against corrosion. POWERPART Lay-Up 3can be used on the terminals.14.Seal the vent pipe of the fuel tank or the fuel fillercap with waterproof tape.15.Remove end plate from sea water circulating pumpand lubricate the interior with glycerine or MARFAK2HD grease, or remove the impeller for the lay-upperiod. Always use a new joint when refittingbackplate.16.Remove the drive belt and put into storage.
