Tighten Connecting Rod Bolting to<br />

the Torque and Turn Values in Table<br />

1-11 on Page 1-18. The additional<br />

degrees turn is achieved using the<br />

separately purchased hydraulic<br />

connecting rod/main bearing-caps<br />

cap screw torque turn tool, see Figure<br />

11. Reinstall the top-cover spacer bars. Be sure that spacer bar o-rings in the crosshead<br />

guide under the cap screw heads are in place and in good condition,<br />

replace if necessary. All spacer bars are match-marked for proper location. They<br />

must be reinstalled in their original location. Utilize Top-Cover Spacer Bar Alignment<br />

Tools (A-11987). These spacer bars are also used as gasket surfaces to<br />

top covers. See Figure 7-4 on Page 7-3. Lubricate cap screws with lubricating oil<br />

or Lubriplate 630. Install and tighten all spacer bar cap screws to the value listed<br />

in Table 1-11 on Page 1-18.<br />

12. Examine the top cover and side cover gaskets. Install new gaskets if there is any<br />

doubt that old gaskets are not in a good usable condition. Top cover gaskets are<br />

to be replaced as a complete set, as used and new gasket pieces installed side<br />

by side under the same top cover can cause oil leaks. Before installing a gasket,<br />

apply a thin coating of anti-seize lubricant to both sides or to the metal seating<br />

surfaces. This will help to hold the gasket in place during assembly and aid in<br />

ease of removal. Reinstall the top covers and crosshead guide covers. Tighten<br />

all cover cap screws hand-wrench tight.<br />

13. After replacing bearings or connecting rod it is important to check the bearing<br />

break-in temperatures. When starting the compressor after the first 10 minutes<br />

of run time, after one hour and after 4 hours, shutdown compressor and remove<br />

the frame top covers. Immediately (within 5 minutes after shutdown), check the<br />

bearing cap temperatures using a temperature probe (hand held thermocouple<br />

probe or infrared thermometer), record values on a copy of form on page 5-68. If<br />

a variation more than 8°F (4.5°C) is measured between any two connecting rod<br />

bearings, contact <strong>Ariel</strong>.<br />
