GENERAL INFORMATION 

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Warning - Basic Information 

INTRODUCTION 

All Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) sensitive components contain solid state circuits (transistors, diodes, 
semiconductors) that may become damaged when contacted with an electrostatic charge. The following 
information applies to all ESD sensitive devices. The ESD symbol shown in Fig. Fig. 1 may be used on 
schematics to indicate which components are ESD sensitive. See Fig. 1 . Although different manufactures may 
display different symbols to represent ESD sensitive devices, the handling and measuring precautions and 
procedures are the same.

NOTE:

This article is intended for general information purposes only.

HANDLING STATIC-SENSITIVE CIRCUITS/DEVICES 

When handling an electronic part that is ESD sensitive, the technician should follow these guidelines to reduce 
any possible electrostatic charge build-up on the technician's body and the electronic part.  

1. Always touch a known good ground source before handling the part. This should be repeated while 

handling the part and more frequently after sitting down from a standing position, sliding across the seat 
or walking a distance.  

2. Avoid touching electrical terminals of the part, unless instructed by a diagnostic procedure.  

3. DO NOT open the package of a new part until it is time to install the part.  

4. Before removing the part from its package, ground the package to a known good ground source.  

CHECKING STATIC-SENSITIVE CIRCUITS/DEVICES 

1. Solid State circuits in electronic devices are shown greatly simplified in schematics. See Fig. 2 . Due to 

the simplification of the electronic devices on the schematic, resistance measurements could be 
misleading or could lead to an electrostatic discharge. Always follow the recommended diagnostic 
procedure. 

Fig. 2: Sample Schematic Showing Typical ESD Sensitive Device 

2. Only measure resistance at the terminals of the devices when instructed by the recommended diagnostic 

procedure.  

3. When using a voltmeter, be sure to connect the ground lead first.

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Engine Overhaul Procedures 

* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST * 

Examples used in this article are general in nature and do not necessarily relate to a specific engine or system. 
Illustrations and procedures have been chosen to guide mechanic through engine overhaul process. Descriptions 
of processes of cleaning, inspection, assembly and machine shop practice are included.  

Always refer to appropriate engine overhaul article in the ENGINES section for complete overhaul procedures 
and specifications for the vehicle being repaired.  

DESCRIPTION 

Examples used in this article are general in nature and do not necessarily relate to a specific engine or system. 
Illustrations and procedures have been chosen to guide mechanic through engine overhaul process. Descriptions 
of cleaning, inspection, and assembly processes are included.  

ENGINE IDENTIFICATION 

Engine may be identified from Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) stamped on a metal tab. Metal tab may be 
located in different locations depending on manufacturer. Engine identification number or serial number is 
located on cylinder block. Location varies with each manufacturer.  

INSPECTION PROCEDURES 

Engine components must be inspected to meet manufacturer's specifications and tolerances during overhaul. 
Proper dimensions and tolerances must be met to obtain proper performance and maximum engine life.  

Micrometers, depth gauges and dial indicator are used for checking tolerances during engine overhaul. 
Magnaflux, Magnaglo, dye-check, ultrasonic and x-ray inspection procedures are used for parts inspection.  

MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION 

Magnaflux & Magnaglo 

Magnaflux is an inspection technique used to locate material flaws and stress cracks. Component is subjected to 
a strong magnetic field. Entire component or a localized area can be magnetized. Component is coated with 
either a wet or dry material that contains fine magnetic particles.  

Cracks which are outlined by the particles cause an interruption of magnetic field. Dry powder method of 
Magnaflux can be used in normal lighting and crack appears as a bright line.  

Fluorescent liquid is used along with a Black light in the Magnaglo Magnaflux system. Darkened room is 
required for this procedure. The crack will appear as a glowing line. Complete demagnetizing of component
