1 DEFINITIONS
1.1 Dimensions
1.1.1 TOLERANCE is the amount a dimension may vary greater or smaller than the
specified dimension.
The tolerance is plus zero and The tolerance is plus .002 inches
minus .004 inches and minus .002 inches
The max. and min. limiting dimensions are 2.135, 2.131 respectively. In the above
three examples the limiting dimensions are the same; each example means the
same dimension.
This statement, as it appears above the drawing tolerance block, refers to all
machined or furnished surfaces that have a 250 microinch or better requirement.
Molded rubber or plastic products and component gaskets are included. Dimensions
known as radii are to be considered as any linear machined dimension.

FINISHED SURFACE is any surface which is machined. In the case of cold or hot
rolled stock, a surface which is machined to a surface roughness of 250 microinches
or better is considered to be a finished surface.
FINISH ALL OVER & SMOOTH TURN will normally not be used on drawings.
Where such a note is used without a finish symbol, the finish will be 125 microinches
or better.
VENDOR is any manufacturing area outside the immediate engine assembly and
manufacturing area. This means all areas outside the building in which the engine
assembly is conducted, and can include areas in the same building which are not
under the direct supervision of the Manager of Engine Manufacturing at his
discretion.
OUTSIDE VENDOR is any manufacturing area outside the General Electric, Erie
Plant. The purpose of distinguishing between vendors on this drawing is so that
there will be no doubt in what is meant in the section of these Applied Practices,
dealing with handling, corrosion prevention, and cleaning of parts. All vendors will
meet to take more caution that the Engine Manufacturing Unit in the handling of
parts. In a like manner, outside vendors will need to take more care that local
manufacturing depending on the amount of handling.
CLEAN O.D. FOR DRESSER COUPLING. The defined surface area is to be free
from foreign deposits other than the regular preservation coatings used on pipe to
prevent corrosion. The surface is to be free from indentations, projections, or roll
marks such as may be caused by pipe wrenches, vise jaws, or other mechanical
devices or careless handling. Typically, the pipe surface is satisfactory, for Dress
coupling or fitting applications, as it is normally received from the mill.
Indentations from the leak test equipment cup point set screws are permitted but
sharp projections that may have been caused by the set screws must be removed.
Sharp notches resulting form weld seams that prevent the coupling gasket from
sealing properly must be removed. 3

The dates used with the AWA standards are for the latest revisions available at the
time this drawing was initially issued. It is expected that the latest revisions to these
standards will be used for the purchase of new or replacement tooling. This drawing
will not necessarily be revised each time one of the many ASA standards is revised.
2 GENERAL
The dimensions, notes, or other information contained in the body of the detail or
assembly drawing take priority overall other instructions. Information in the drawing
general information block applies where that information is not specified in the body
of the drawing. Applied Practices are the lowest in order of authority.
Engine Engineering instructions which add to or clarify the instructions for the
drawing are secondary to the drawing.
Changes to the Applied Practices will be made only by the responsible Product
Engineering authority.
2.3 Tolerances
The general tolerances to be used for engine parts are ±1/64” for linear dimensions,
where the surface finish is 250 microinches or better, when surface finish is rougher
than 250 microinches then ±1/32 inch tolerance will apply; for angular measurement
±1/2° will apply. The foregoing tolerances apply except where otherwise modified on
the drawing, engineering instructions, or in other areas of the Applied Practices.
The tolerances of intermediate dimensions are not to accumulate on any one piece
of material so as to make the overall dimension outside of the tolerance. There are
certain assemblies which will require machining after assembly to enable the ±1/64”

Applied Practices
Holes defined as such (example: ½ dia. hole x 2 deep) are to be made within the
drilling tolerances. The depth dimension is to be considered as any machined
dimension but with a ±1/32 tolerance.
Runout tolerances are shown for drilled and reamed holes on the following page.
The dimension “B” is the drill depth of the drawing callout or the drill depth from
Section 5, this drawing. “C” is the runout tolerance in inches per inch of “B”. These
runout tolerances have no bearing on the location of the centerline of the hole. The
tolerance for the centerline is to be obtained from the paragraph LINEAR
DIMENSIONING OF HOLES.
The reamer will give the same runout of the original drilled hole, when a reamed hole
is required, the rough hole before reaming will therefore have a runout which will
allow the reamed hole to be in tolerance.
The center of the hole diameter must be within the locating dimension tolerance at
both ends of the hole in the case of thru holes.
When the drawing callout indicates a reamed hole, such as “.497-500 dia., ½ deep,”
the dimension for the depth shall be considered a machined dimension and the
tolerances as specified on the drawing shall apply. The required lead drill shall
conform to the sketch below.

Runout of line bored and line reamed holes will not exceed .0005” per axial inch of
the overall dimension of the holes. The step or misalignment of the centerlines of
adjacent hole not to exceed .0001” per inch of space between holes.
The upper method of dimensioning will be used where the tolerance stackup is not
important. When “A” diameter is less than 1”, the tolerance on the “D” dimension will
be ± .007”. When “A” diameter is 1” or larger, the tolerance will be ± 1/64”.
When the lower method of dimensioning is used, tolerance stackup is not allowed.
The centerline of the resulting hole will be located within circle “E” whose diameter is
1/64”.

When a Total Indicator Runout is specified, it shall apply to the outer extremity of the
surface.
Sheet metal and plate right angle bends will be 90°±2°. Tolerances of angles other
than 90° bends will normally be specified on the drawing, otherwise use ±2°. The
bend radius will normally be specified. When the bend radius is not specified, it will
be not less than one times the metal thickness. Parts are to be formed with the
bends perpendicular to the direction of the grain.
4.2 Joggles
When the offset is for the purpose of making a smooth lay joint in sheet metal, the
tolerances which apply are shown below.
When dimension “T” is equal to or greater than dimension “X”, the maximum that
dimension “Y” may be is 2½ times “T”. When dimension “X” is greater than
dimension “T”, but less than 5 times “T”, the dimension “Y” may be a maximum of 4
times “T”.

5.5.7 Gages
Part number of gages for inspection and working are supplied for sizes ½” and under.
Sizes over ½” use only inspection gages. The GO nibs of working gages are larger than
the GO nibs of inspection gages; therefore, when a working gage indicates a tapped
hole is under size, it should be checked with an inspection gage before reworking the
tapped hole. The larger GO nibs of the working gage allow for more wear than the in-
spection gage before scrapage of the gage is required. The NOT GO nibs of both in-
spection and working gages are the same dimension, as no wear of this portion of the
gage should take place for properly sized holes. The table on pages 20 and 21 list Heli-
Coil part numbers for master gages only. If longer wearing marking gages are needed,
consult the Heli-Coil catalog.

9 TOLERANCES
As a general statement, sand castings must be plaid out to determine a starting point
for machining. This is especially true of large castings in which the casting must be
shifted when determining the starting point for machining to even up the available
stock for machining so that all surfaces will furnish die to core shift, mold closure or
shift. In large castings if sufficient finishing stock were allowed to take care of all
core shift, etc., within shifting the layout, the casting would be prohibitively heavy,
and required additional machine cuts on all coatings. When specified on the detail
drawing the machining is to be started or located as shown on the drawing.
As used here, “layout” can mean the use of a jig or fixture to determine the initial
machining point. This is not necessarily the machine tool fixture, but is a fixture
designed so that the operator can determine the amount the casting need be shifted
or shimmed in the machine tool fixture, so that the finished machined part will be a
useful parts.
On small parts it may be possible to design machine tool fixtures so that the casting
can be located without checking for layout prior to machining. However, locating
points should be coordinated with the foundry pattern shop, as the drawing does not
necessarily specify how the mold should be parted or cored.
When elaborate tooling fixtures are designed, the foundry should be consulted in
regard to locating points when these are not specified on the drawing. This is

especially true when castings are ordered from drawings where mold parting and
coring is not shown.
When buying castings from a source other than the original source for a particular
parts, where machine tooling exists, new patterns must be made with the existing

13.1 General
This instruction applies to all drawings calling for this Applied Practice drawing
number, except where modified or added to on the specific drawing. All parts to be
clean, free of foreign material, protected from corrosion, and packed, stored, or
shipped so as not to reduce the quality of the part.
13.2 Cleaning
Internal passageways and cavities will. be clean. They will contain no weld scale,
chips or foreign material. There will be no coatings other than corrosion preventives
or paint as specified on the drawing or herein.
If filtered fuel passages contain particles of a size larger than 2 microns, they are
considered to be dirty.
Lubricating oil passages and crankcase cavities will be considered dirty if they
contain particles of a size larger than 20 microns.
The above statements do not mean that these surfaces may be covered with a layer
of dirt or dust of this particle size, or even a layer of talcum powder size. A layer of
dust, dirt, talcum powder, or smaller is not acceptable. Any size of foreign material
on a surface area of more than 1/4% of the total area of a given piece is not
acceptable.
Internal parts and surfaces where the surface finish is 250 microinches or better will
be clean. No foreign material is acceptable on bearing surfaces or mating surfaces.
Acid etching or pickling, wire brushing, scraping, sand tumbling, blasting or any other
cleaning method which will result in a clean part to the surface finish of the drawing
requirement is acceptable for removing corrosion and weld scale flux or spatter.

All ferrous castings will be painted with a sealer as outlined in 41A213279, Sheet 10,
unless otherwise specified.
Other Surface Coatings - The main surface coatings to be sued on diesel engine
parts will be oils, greases, and waxes to which suitable corrosion inhibitors have
been added.
This instruction will not attempt to specify which process will be used to clean a
surface prior to the application of a corrosion preventative. In some cases, no
additional surface preparation will be required or the application of a corrosion
preventative. The particular application will need to be studied.
A minimum solution of 3% by volume of soluble oil to the mixture of water and oil
should be used when corrosion preventive properties are desired.
A material suitable for long time storage is a lubricating oil to which polar additives
have been added, and other materials which tend to make the mixture stick to the
metal surface tighter than oil alone, thus expelling air and moisture from the surface
of the metal. Such a material would be GE Material D6C4.
Another material similar to the above, but which has more body when it dries is US
Government Spec. MIL-C-972, Grade 2, such as Tectyle 502C. This material readily
mixes with engine lubricating oil and is the only material approved at this time for use
in engine crankcases, when the engine is prepared for shipment. This material
leaves a soft waxy film when it dries. When the oil or waxy preservatives are used
for engine parts which might be handled so a to rub the preservative off, protective
wrapping of waxpaper or oil resistant paper should be used.
There are other materials which dry to a hard surface, such as the GE D6C6 series
material, MIL-C-972, Grade 1 such as Tectype 890. These materials are suitable for
the external finished surfaces of large castings and other parts which require
handling of a nature that would require the corrosion preventative to stand some
abrasion. These preservatives should be used only where there is no other
economical method to preservative the part, because this material is quite difficult to
remove when thoroughly dry.

13.4 Storage
Parts in process, temporary storage, transit, or long time storage will be adequately
packaged, so that no damage will result from factory dirt, corrosion or handling.
Such pieces as crankshafts, camshafts, pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and
gears will require special racks, individual packaging, and dust covers to adequately
protect the parts in process, in transit, or in storage.
13.5 Vendors
Vendors will take the necessary steps to allow material to reach the engine assembly
receiving area in a condition which will meet the drawing specifications, i.e., the
material will be free of nicks, scratches, dirt, corrosion or other damage due to
handling or faulty packaging, which would allow pieces to run other material, or allow
the entrance of dirt or moisture in such a manner which would cause temporary or
permanent damage t the part.
For whatever reason a vendor may want to repair and/or ship new non-conforming
material, he will first submit four (4) copies of a Request for Deviation Approval or
Repair Authorization, form LC-D-2795-A (1-64), to
Repair and/or shipping of the subject material will only be made after the Process
Control Engineer has returned a copy of this request indicating allowable disposition.

All parts will be properly identified with part numbers and, if specified on the drawing,
with a catalog number and serial number. Permanent marking will not be placed on
mating surfaces, fillets, radii, notches, corners or in any manner which would tend to
weaken the part. Parts which have a finish better than 125 micro inches all over will
be permanently marked only if and where stated on the drawing. When a part has
no identification attached, it is to be placed in a suitable container to which the
identification is affixed.
Quality Control personnel are responsible for parts being properly identified and any
questions on the proper location of markings must be right to the attention of Product
Engineering.
14.2.1 General
The serial number will consist of the year, the month an the number of the part
produced that month.

15 FITS
16 INSPECTION
16.1 General
Quality Control is responsible to see that all material meets the drawing specification
that is used in final assembly, or shipped as spare parts, so that when the end
product is shipped it will maintain the Company’s reputation for quality.
Some material will require 100% inspection. Crankshafts and main frames are
examples of items for which each item must be checked, and the measurements
recorded. These measurement records are to be kept on file by serial numbers for
ready reference, and a copy is to be forwarded to Product Engineering. The data
may be kept on microfilm after two years to facilitate storage. After 15 years, the
data may be discarded. Quality Control can arrange through Purchasing to have the
records made at the source, but this will not relieve them of the responsibility for the
quality of material in the finished product.
All material will be spot checked on arrival, and the extent of the spot check will be
left up to the Supervisor of Quality Control. Material is to be defected for any
condition which will cause it to not meet the drawing specifications. These defects
may be dimensional, handling damage, corrosion, etc. Quality Control will defect
items in storage racks, bins, or warehouse for any of the above faults.
Quality Control will initiate procedures to have defective material savaged by rework
to bring the material into drawing specifications, by rework due to Engineering
Instructions to alter the material to a serviceable condition, or returned to source.
All drawings specifying inspection per magnaglo shall be inspected per 41213788
unless otherwise specified.

Quality Control will maintain an adequate system of inspection either in the machine
area or in the assembly area, which will adequately control quality in assemblies or
spare parts.
Quality Control will monitor Alteration Notices. Any material in the factory which is
affected by an AN, will be inspected to see that the proper action has been taken.
17 DOWELS
The standard dowel will be the N507 series of GE parts for uhardened, ground finish.
When dowels are made from standard stock, the diameter tolerances to apply are
the ones specified in the particular GE material specification. Only a nominal
dimension will be required for these tolerances to apply. Thus, if a drawing calls for
a pin material B4A2C3 and a nominal dimension of 3/8, the tolerance of the GE
material specification applies and the limiting dimensions for the resulting pin are
.3755 and .3745, since the GE material specification for this material gives a size
tolerance of ±.0005” on the diameter.
17.3 Finish
The surface roughness of “N” series pins will be no greater than 32 microinches.
Unspecified finish of other pins will be noted on the drawing or the mill finish will be
accepted otherwise. Pins are to be free from corrosion and pitting.
The tolerance on the tape of taper pins will be ±.00007” per inch, measured on the
diameter along the axis when not otherwise specified.
