FUNDAMENTAL PROCEDURES
GI-13prose procedureADJUSTMENTS
Use suitable gauges and testers when making adjustments.
RUBBER PARTS AND TUBING
Prevent gasoline or oil from getting on rubber parts or tubing.
HOSE CLAMPS
When reinstalling, position the hose clamp in the original location on the hose, and squeeze the clamp lightly with large pliers to ensure a good fit.
TORQUE FORMULAS
When using a torque wrench-SST combination, the written torque must be recalculated due to the extra length that the SST adds to the torque wrench. Recalculate the torque by using the following formulas. Choose the formula that applies to you.

A = The length of the SST past the torque wrench drive.
L = The length of the torque wrench.
VISE
When using a vise, put protective plates in the jaws of the vise to prevent damage to parts.
