maintenance. When refittingthe
pipe after completing the work
the bolt holes in the flanges are
found to be misaligned. What
procedure should be followed to
finish the work?

speed 9. diesel engine it is usual
to measure the butt gaps
between the sealing ring and
scraper ring segments. What
would be the effect of these

Jawab : If the gaps are too small
they could close due to the
radial wear of the rings before
the next
scheduled overhaul preventing
the rings from contacting the
piston rod and sealing it.

engines have jack bolt
arrangements for retaining the
main bearing top keep in place
rather than the more
conventional stud bolts. How
does this arrangement affect the
