FLUIDS DUMP

[MISSION JOE]

JUST BOUGHT A JINMA 404 WITH A HUNDRED HOURS ON THE CLOCK . DON.T KNOW IF THE FACTORY FLUIDS WERE EVER DUMPED , HAVE HEARD THEY SHOULD BE . ANY OPINIONS ON THE SUBJECT ?

 

[Rich Waugh]

With 400 hours, all the fluids should be changed, regardless of whether they're factory or after-market. Cheap protection. Also, adjust clutch, tighten all bolts, adjust valve lash and re-torque the head gasket.

And when Rich says Tighten ALL bolts, he means ALL the bolts

Drain bolt on the bottom of most of them, if not you may have to suck it out with a squeeze bulb. Fill to the dipstick mark with engine oil. You fill it either through the dipstick or the mushroom-shaped cap on the top. If the drain bolt is on one side/end there may be a bolt directly above it that is the witness hole - pull that bolt and fill with new fluid until it weeps out the upper bolt then button things up.
