When transferring certain engine dress items from a removed diesel engine to a Goodwrench diesel engine, certain precautions should be observed. For example, experience has shown that stuck piston rings generally result from an excessive amount of EGR. Therefore, in the event of a sticking piston ring condition in the engine being replaced, the following items should be checked, cleaned or replaced before being transferred to the Goodwrench diesel engine:

^ EGR Valve
^ VRV Valve
^ EPR Valve
^ CDR Valve
^ Ventilation Filter
^ Ventilation Pipe and Elbows
^ Air Crossover
^ Intake Manifold
