1. Compressor case
Remove only one case half at a
time. DO NOT remove both case
halves at the same time. Front
support could be misaligned.
Insure that the removed case half
is properly reinstalled and that
the bolts are tightened to the
required torque values before any
of the bolts on the other case half
are loosened. (Refer to
paragraph 2-12.)
NOTE
Visually inspect the plastic coating of
both compressor case halves for the
reasons stated in para 2-9.
Visually inspect the compressor case
plastic coating for the following
conditions. Loss of plastic can have an
adverse effect on compressor
performance and is a justified reason
for replacement of the case on low
performance engines.
a. If any crack along the
horizontal splitline is in
excess of 1/2 inch, replace
compressor halves.
b. Cracks are acceptable
without limitation as to
length, quantities, or
areas provided the plastic
is securely bonded to the
case.
