Exhaust System Inspection
The exhaust system must undergo a visual inspection every 50 hours or 30 days of operation. Tailpipes should be removed and inspected for cracks, corrosion, holes, or distortion annually. A pressure test of the exhaust system is also required every 12 months.
Maintenance Intervals
Multi-segment V-band clamps should be replaced every 500 hours of operation. The entire exhaust system must be removed from slip-joints to all turbocharger components every 2500 hours or 12 years, whichever comes first, and sent to an approved repair facility.
Tailpipe Inspection
Inspect tailpipes for internal pitting and wall thickness, particularly at the outside radius and support brackets. The turbo header should also be checked for internal pitting and any warping or cracking.
Part Numbers and Descriptions
The document lists various part numbers for exhaust components including stack assemblies for both left and right engines, slip joints, manifold elbows, and tailpipes. This section is crucial for maintenance and repair operations.
Safety notes
- Failure to perform regular inspections can lead to exhaust system failure.
- Inspecting tailpipes for internal pitting is critical for safety.
