INSPECTION OF PARTS 
CYLINDER HEAD & VALVE PLATE 
1.  Carefully inspect the cylinder head gasket surfaces for 
deep gouges and nicks.  If detected, the compressor 
must be replaced.
2.  Carefully  inspect  the  valve  plate  assembly  gasket 
surfaces for deep  gouges  and  nicks.   Pay particular 
attention to the metal gasket surface. A metal gasket 
(12)  is  used  between  the  valve  plate  assembly  and 
cylinder  block.    This  surface  must  be  smooth  and 
free of all but the most minor scratching. If excessive 
marring or gouging is detected, the compressor must 
be replaced.
3.  Inspect the cylinder head for cracks or damage. With the 
cylinder head and head gasket secured to the valve plate 
assembly, apply shop air pressure to one of the coolant 
ports with all  others  plugged, and check for leakage by 
applying a soap solution to the exterior  of  the head.  If 
leakage is detected in the cylinder head casting, replace the 
compressor.
END COVER OR END COVER ADAPTER
Check  for  cracks  and  external  damage.    Check  the 
crankshaft main bearing surface in the end cover or end 
cover adapter, check for excessive wear and flat spots and 
replace the end cover if necessary.  Check for galling of 
the oil port threads and replace the end cover or end cover 
adapter if necessary.  Minor thread chasing is permitted but 
do not “recut” the threads if they are badly damaged.
CYLINDER BLOCK 
1.  Check the cylinder head gasket surface on the cylinder 
block for nicks, gouges, and marring. A metal gasket 
is used to seal the cylinder head to the cylinder block.  
This surface must be smooth and free of all but the most 
minor scratching.  If excessive marring or gouging is 
detected, the compressor must be replaced.
DISCHARGE LINE
1.  Inspect the discharge line for kinks, damage, or carbon 
deposits.  Replace as necessary.  See the advanced 
troubleshooting guide for more information.
ASSEMBLY 
General  Note: All  torques  specified  in  this  manual  are 
assembly torques and typically can be expected to fall off 
after assembly is accomplished.  Do not re-torque after 
initial assembly torques fall unless instructed otherwise.  
A compiled listing of torque specifications is presented on 
page 11 of this manual.
INCH POUNDS TO FOOT POUNDS
To convert inch pounds to foot pounds of torque, divide 
inch pounds by 12.
Example:
  12 Inch Pounds 
= 1 Foot Pound
   12
FOOT POUNDS TO INCH POUNDS
To convert foot pounds to inch pounds of torque, multiply 
foot pounds by 12.
Example:  1 Foot Pound 
x 12 = 12 Inch Pounds
CRANKCASE COVER
1.  Position the crankcase cover gasket (14) on either the 
crankcase or crankcase cover and install the crankcase 
cover  on  the  crankcase  using  the  four  cap  screws.  
"Snug" the four cap screws then torque to 62-71 inch 
pounds (7-8 Nm) using a crossing pattern.
CRANKCASE END COVER OR ADAPTER
1.  Install the end cover o-ring (13) on the crankcase end 
cover.
2.  Orient the crankcase end cover or end cover adapter to 
the crankcase using the reference marks made during 
disassembly.    Carefully  install  the  end  cover  or  end 
cover adapter in the crankcase making certain not to 
damage the crankshaft bearing surface in it.
3.  Install the four end cover screws or studs. "Snug" the 
screws then tighten to 195 to 213 inch pounds (22-24 
Nm) using a crossing pattern.
CYLINDER HEAD
1.  Note the position of the protruding alignment pins on the 
cylinder block.  Install the metal inlet reed valve/gasket 
(12) over the alignment pins on the cylinder block.
2.  Position the valve plate assembly on the cylinder block 
so that the alignment pins in the cylinder block fit into 
the corresponding holes in the valve plate assembly.
3.  Position and install one of the metal gaskets (11) over 
the alignment bushings protruding from the valve plate 
assembly. When properly installed, the outline of the 
gasket matches the outline of the valve plate.
4.  Install the cooling plate over the alignment  bushings 
protruding from the valve plate assembly. Again, when 
properly  installed,  the  outline  of  the  cooling  plate 
matches the outline of the valve plate.
5.  Position and install the other metal gasket (11) over the 
alignment bushings protruding from the cooling plate 
assembly. The outline of the gasket matches the outline 
of the cooling plate.
6.  Position and install the cylinder head over the alignment 
bushings protruding from the cooling plate.
Note: The  alignment  bushings  will only fit into 
two of the six cylinder head bolt holes.
7.  Install the two center bolts and six hex head cylinder 
head bolts and washers and snug them, then tighten 
evenly to a torque of 265 to 292 inch pounds (30-33 
Nm) using the pattern shown in Figure 9.
8.  Install  the  unloader  piston  (7)  with  its  pre-installed  
o-rings (6, 8, 9) in the cylinder head making certain not 
to damage them in the process.
