(2) VSV unison ring centralizing pads - Location A, VSV bridge piece compensating pads - Location B.
Subtask 75-32-42-980-052-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL CAUTION:
DO NOT BREATHE GAS FROM TEFLON BASED LUBRICANT. PUT A PROTECTION ON YOUR MOUTH. THE GAS CAN IRRITATE YOU.
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THAT YOU SHAKE THE LUBRICANT WELL BEFORE USE. THIS APPLIES TO LUBRICANT IN A NON AEROSOL PUMP TYPE SPRAY BOTTLE OR IN A SYRINGE. THIS WILL MAKE SURE THAT THE PTFE IS WELL DISTRIBUTED WITHIN THE LUBRICANT.
CAUTION:
DO NOT APPLY LUBRICANT TO THE VSV ACTUATOR.
CAUTION:
DO NOT LUBRICATE CRANKSHAFT BEARING. THESE VSV CRANKSHAFT BEARINGS ARE DESIGNED TO RUN DRY. LUBRICATION OF THESE WILL CAUSE SWELLING ON THE BEARING FABROID MATERIAL, RESULTING IN TIGHTNESS OF OPERATION.
(1) VSV spindles - Location A, VSV lever arm pins - Location B. (2) VSV unison ring centralizing pads - Location A, VSV bridge piece compensating pads - Location B.
E. Use the applicable wrench on the flats of the crankshaft and move the VSV system from the high speed to the low speed position
(1) Spray or squirt the lubricant on the areas that can now be seen as given in Para. D. above.
(3) Check the force necessary to move the VSV mechanism.
(a) Measure the torque after the lubrication. Put the torque wrench with the applicable wrench adapter on the wrench flats of the crankshaft. Measure the torque necessary to turn the crankshaft from the low speed position to the high speed position:
1 If the torque necessary after the lubrication is more than 350 lbf.in (3.96 m.daN), reject the engine.
