center facing into the bearing cover.
Figure 5-9: Assembly of Rear Bearing Cover with Bearing Supporter and Outer Bearing Race.

7. Now install the outer bearing bace into the rear bearing cover using a hydraulic press or similar. The bearing
race should fit below the level of the spigot and tight against the bearing supporter. The narrow edge of the race
taper faces to the inside of the crank case.
Figure 5-10: Assembly of Outer Bearing Brace to the Rear Bearing Cover.
8. Crankshaft (39) assembly is next. Both bearings (38) are the same size. The narrow edge of the taper faces to
the ends of the shaft.
Figure 5-11: Assembly of Outer Bearing Brace to the Rear Bearing Cover.
9. Use a hydraulic press or similar device to fit the bearings. A sleeve made to suit the inner diameter of the
bearing should be used to ease the bearings onto the shaft. The bearings must fit hard on the shoulders of the
crankshaft.
Figure 5-12: Fitting the Bearings.

10. Apply a thin layer of grease to gasket (33) and ready the shaft assembly for installation into the vacuum pump
crank case.
Figure 5-13: Preparing the Shaft Assembly for Installation into the Crank Case.
11. Apply oil to the lip of the seal (54) in the front bearing end cap and carefully install the shaft. Hold the shaft in
place and fit the end cover onto the crank case housing. Apply Loctite 567 or thread sealant to bolts (37).
Install the bolts and tension to 25 ft lbs.

12. Install the grub screw (35) into the back of the rear bearing cover.
Figure 5-15: Installing the Grub Screw to the Rear Bearing Cover.

13. The crank shaft will be loose in the bearing. To adjust the crank shaft end float, tighten the adjusting screw until
all end float is removed, then back off the grub screw (35) a 1/4 to 1/2 a turn.
Figure 5-16: Crank Shaft Adjustment.
14. Tap the crankshaft with a rubber/soft hammer. One sharp hit is all that is required. The shaft should now rotate
easily. If the rotation is restricted, gradually increase the adjustment by up to a 1/4 turn of the grub screw and
hit the shaft again. Don’t let the shaft go loose in the bearings. Once the end float is correct, lock the grub
screw with the locking cap (36)
Figure 5-17: Further Crank Shaft Adjustment.
15. Attach the two balance weights. NOTE: The green arrows on the photograph indicate the position in which the
balance weights are attached to the crank shaft. Use bolts (42) and lock tab (41) to secure the balance weights
to the crank shaft.
Figure 5-18: Further Crank Shaft Adjustment.

16. Once the balance weight is attached to the crank shaft, tighten the counter weight bolts to 25 ft lbs and bend
the corner of the lock tabs across the flat of the bolt head as shown here.
Figure 5-19: Torqueing of Counter Weight Bolts.
17. Piston (49), piston rings (52), conrod (44), gudgeon pin (50) and circlips (51) are displayed. The piston is fitted

MODEL 57 VACUUM PUMP Maintenance
6 Maintenance
6.1 Maintenance Safety
CAUTION
Pump unit to be locked and tagged before any maintenance or service is performed.
Appropriate lifting techniques and lifting equipment to be used.
Oil level must be checked before operating the vacuum pump. Running the vacuum pump
without oil will cause damage.
WARNING
Personal Protective Equipment must be worn when operating or servicing the VACUUM PUMP.
6.2 Piston and Re-Ringing Instructions

It is advisable that the ridge be removed from the top of worn cylinders prior to removing the piston. Failure to do so
may result in cracked or broken piston ring lands.
The ring sets are designed to bed in on both new bores and worn bores. Honing is not essential but it is recommended
to give the optimum result. However, it is essential if one of the following conditions is present:
• Excessive wear
• Bore distortion
• Polishing or Glazing
• Scuffing
• Scratching
NOTICE
• When boring to oversize, allow sufficient honing allowance to completely remove boring
marks (0.06 is usually needed).
•
o o
Aim for a high cross hatch angle (30 – 60 included) and an even cut in both directions.
• Machine hone if possible as hand honing is harder to achieve the desired result.
• Always replace scuffed, cracked, worn or otherwise damaged pistons.
• Always check the gap clearance of new rings in the lower unworn portion. The gap should not
be less than 0.003mm per mm of cylinder diameter.
• Maximum gap condition is not especially critical but should not exceed 0.01mm per mm for
compression rings while gap on oil ring rails may be up to 1.75mm regardless of bore size.
• Poor cleaning after honing accounts for most of today’s worn out / oil consumption problems.
Petrol and kerosene are not suitable. Soap and hot water with a nylon scrubbing brush are
best. Check with a clean white cloth which should not come out grey. Finally, swab with light
engine oil to prevent corrosion.
• Ensure piston rings and pins are thoroughly clean and then lubricate rings, skirt, pin bores
and bearings with engine oil. Use a good quality ring compressor held firm against the engine
block at the time of entry of the rings into the cylinder.

6.3 Assembly of 3-Piece Oil Ring

Table 6-1: Assembly Procedure for 3-Piece Oil Ring
Three Piece Oil Ring Assembly.

1. Wind on Expander
2. Hold the expander end in place with

thumb. Wind on lower rail then wind on
upper rail.
Upper and Lower Rail of

Expander
3. Both ends of the expander should be

visible and not over lapped.
Upper Rail Gap
4. Align all gaps as per the picture (gaps

must not be lined up). Check the
assembly can rotate in the groove
Lower Rail Gap

5. When fitting the compression rings, make
sure they are fitted the correct way up as
per the diagram below.
Fitting Compression Rings

6. To avoid breakage, do not wind on the
compression rings.

Fitting Compression Rings

7. Use a ring expander or expand with the
thumbs before placing in piston grooves.
Correct Ring Back Clearance

8. All rings must have clearance between
the back of the ring and the back of the
groove. To check this, push the rings
against the bottom of the groove on the
thrust side of the piston, and then place a
straight edge against the skirt of the
piston. The minimum clearance between
rings and edge should be 0.3mm for
compression rings and 0.15mm fir oil
rings.
Table 6-2: Correct Fit of Position Ring
NOTICE
• Correct running in of rings is essential, especially on un-honed bores. Firstly, avoid

prolonged idling and vary the engine speed and load. The load provides the build-up of
pressure behind the compression rings and helps them to bed in.
• Sticking valves, inlet and exhaust, or both are visually evident by a popping noise emitted
from the vacuum pump exhaust, or uneven exhaust pulses or no emission from exhaust
pipe.
• Remove inlet and exhaust caps from top of cylinder head. Remove valves.
• Clean valves in solvent and check for broken springs, worn valve plates and faces. Replace
faulty components where necessary.

6.4 Leaks in Balance Tube

The balance tube maintains a balance of vacuum between the crankcase and cylinder head to reduce oil consumption.
A leaking balance tube will cause excessive oil consumption. Check tube and fittings for damage and/or tightness.
6.5 Vacuum Leaks in Crank Case

• Damaged crankcase seal.
• Damaged seal on dipstick.
Vacuum leaks in the crankcase will be indicated by loss of vacuum and excessive oil consumption. Inspect and repair
as necessary.
NOTICE
• To test valves, place upside down and fill with kerosene (diesel) for one (1) minute. Okay if
fluid does not disappear.
• When replacing a crankcase seal, it is to be inserted as per the diagram here.
Figure 6-1: Correct Replacement of Vacuum Pump Crank Seal
6.6 Worn Rings

For conventional rings, the gap should be 0.1mm when assembled. Where one groove of segmental is being used with
one groove of a conventional oil ring, the latter is in the lowest groove. The segments in the centre groove and the
compression in the upper segmental rings, when fitted should be paired.
Gaps should be fitted initially over the end of the gudgeon pin alternating sides, but they will tend to move around
during operation.
