Vehicle Information
Condition
Engine Replacement, Checking for Debris Lodged in Transferred Assemblies
Technical Background
Replacement engine damage may be caused by debris from the damaged engine lodged in assemblies that are transferred from the damaged engine
to the replacement engine.
If the original engine fails and pieces of metal (debris) are distributed throughout the engine, some debris may end up in the intake manifold and
become lodged there.
Production Solution
Information only.
Service
During engine replacement, when parts must be transferred from a damaged engine to a replacement engine:
^ Always inspect those parts (including intake manifolds, turbochargers, hoses, fittings etc.) for contamination or debris from the damaged engine.
This is especially important in V6 or VR6 engines with variable intake manifolds, where debris can become lodged in the inner parts of the manifold
until the manifold changes length.
