  • If any of these conditions are present during the inspection, a long block assembly is the lowest service repair.
  • Please note, it is the responsibility of the technician to perform the inspections outlined in the workshop manual section 303- 03A > Diagnosis and Testing > Engine Cooling > Inspection and Verification and workshop manual section 303-01A Engine system – General Information. This ensures that there are no drivability concerns outside of the engine that could lead to a repeat repair.
