Tightening Values or Toolbox Torque Chart, ER-63.<br />
4. Inspect cylinder bores for damage or wear. If the cylinder bore surface is blemished<br />
or gouged, efficiency can be affected and/or rapid ring wear can result, or<br />
is more than 0.001 inch per inch of cylinder bore diameter (0.001 mm/mm) out of<br />
round or tapered, the cylinder body should be replaced or the bore restored.<br />
Contact <strong>Ariel</strong> for re-boring and bore restoration guidelines.<br />
5. Inspect piston ring end gap. Replace rings that are outside the maximum limit<br />
listed in the <strong>Ariel</strong> Technical Manual, Clearance Tables.<br />
6. Inspect piston rods for damage and excessive wear. If gouged or scratched,<br />
replace the rod. If the rod is more than 0.005 inch (0.13 mm) under size, out of<br />
round more than 0.001 inch (0.03 mm), or tapered more than 0.002 inch (0.05<br />
mm) replace the rod.<br />
7. Rebuild cylinder packing cases.<br />
8. Check and re-calibrate all temperature and pressure gauges.<br />
9. Check and record compressor rod run out.<br />
10. Grease VVCP stem threads at grease fitting, with 2 to 3 pumps of multi-purpose<br />
grease using a standard hand pump grease gun.<br />
11. Clean crankcase breather filter.<br />
12. Adjust drive chains.<br />
13. Pressure test distribution blocks.<br />
14. Check gas nozzle flange, valve cap, cylinder heads, compressor rod packing,<br />
crosshead pin through bolt, crosshead guide to frame, crosshead guide to cylinder,<br />
cylinder mounting flange to forged steel cylinder, distance piece to cylinder,<br />
distance piece to crosshead guide and tandem cylinder to cylinder fastener<br />
torque.<br />
15. If the compressor is equipped with crankcase over-pressure relief valves,<br />
inspect and exercise valves to the manufacturer’s recommendations.<br />
Every 2 Years or 16,000 Hours (plus Daily/Monthly/6 Months/<br />
Yearly)<br />
1. Check auxiliary end chain drive for sprocket teeth undercutting and chain for<br />
excessive stretching.<br />
2. Rebuild oil wiper cases.<br />
Every 4 Years or 32,000 Hours (plus Daily/Monthly/6 Months/1 &<br />
2 Years)<br />
1. Check crosshead pin to crosshead pin bore and connecting rod bushing bore by<br />
removing crosshead pins.<br />
2. Check for excessive wear in the auxiliary end drive chain tightener.<br />
3. Check for excessive ring groove wear in pistons.<br />
