Visually inspect the upper radiator hose for pressure marks and traces of rubbing at the closest point of contact to the oil filter housing cast boss (see illustration). If traces of rubbing are found, the upper radiator hose must be replaced with the new style hose (See Parts Information).NOTE: A modified hose was used in production from approximately mid-November 1995 through June 1996, which included an extra rubber pad attached to the outside of the hose in the critical area. If traces of rubbing are found on the rubber pad area of this type of hose, it must also be replaced with the new style hose. Visually inspect the oil filter housing for any sharp edges or burrs on the casting boss. If a sharp edge or casting burr is found on the boss, it must be removed using sand paper or a fine file.

* Using the face of a clamp-type collar as a bearing surface in a rotary application. The saw slot can quickly abrade the surface rotating against it.Doug/Zero-Max: Improper tightening of multiple screws can cause bushing slippage. Axial movement of the bushing on the shaft when tightening can cause some alignment loss. Some connections feature a single tightening screw flint can be torqued if necessary for proper clamping force.Best practicesWhat are considered "best practices" when designing with locking devices?Carl/Ringfeder: Aside from the obvious design parameters, engineers should ask the following questions:* What are the application requirements of the device?* Is the locking device only used to simplify installation or is adjustment, removal, or maintenance necessary?
