both a and b

Technician A says a dry sump lubrication system eliminates the possibility of oil sloshing and possible oil starvation during hard cornering, braking, and acceleration. Technician B says a dry sump lubrication system allows the engine to be mounted lower in the frame, improving handling. Who is correct?

both a and b

Technician A says excessive RTV on an engine gasket can cause blockage in the oil passages and cause severe engine damage. Technician B says RTV is impervious to most fluids. Who is correct?

both a and b

Technician A says excessive buildup of sludge may indicate a poor oil change schedule. Technician B says a build up of scale in the engine can cause cooling system blockage. Who is correct?

both a and b

Technician A says gaskets made of paper, fiber, and cork are called soft cut gaskets. Technician B always uses new gaskets and never reuses old ones. Who is correct?

both a and b

Technician A says it is a good practice to clean the engine and engine compartment before beginning to remove the engine. Technician B says all engine fluids should be drained before engine removal. Who is correct?

both a and b

Technician A says multivalve engines can have three valves per cylinder. Technician B says multivalve engines can have five valves per cylinder. Who is correct?

both a and b

Technician A says positive valve stem seals fit tightly around the top of the stem. Technician B says positive stem seals scrape oil off the valve as it moves up and down. Who is correct?

both a and b

Technician A says that the oil pump is driven directly by the crankshaft. Technician B says on some older engines the oil pump is driven by the distributor. Who is correct?

both a and b

Technician A says the distance across the outside parting surface of the bearing is slightly greater than the diameter of the housing bore, and this feature is called spread. Technician B says when a connecting bearing half is installed, the bearing edges extend slightly from the seat; this extension is called bearing crush. Who is correct?

both a and b

Technician A uses a chalk mark to index the position of the rear U-joint and pinion flange. Technician B, when removing drive axles, scribes marks on the suspension and steering parts to ensure that the wheel alignment will be close after reassembly. Who is correct?

both a and b

Two technicians are discussing a vehicle with an overheating problem. There are no leaks, internal or external. The belts are in good condition, and the radiator has been removed and flow tested. Everything appears to be in good condition. A new thermostat was installed, but it did not cure the problem. Technician A says the impeller could be slipping on the water pump shaft. Technician B says the impeller blades could be corroded. Who is correct?

both a and b

Two technicians are discussing gasket installation. Technician A says if sealant is applied to a gasket designed to be installed dry, the gasket may leak. Technician B says if sealant is required, it will be included in the box with the gasket. Who is correct?

both a and b

Two technicians are discussing oil filters. Technician A says the oil filter has an anti-drain-back valve that prevents the oil in the filter and engine oil passages from returning to the sump when the engine is shut down. Technician B says the oil filter has a bypass valve that in the event the filter becomes plugged, oil can flow directly to the bearings. Who is correct?

both a and b

Two technicians are discussing undersized bearings. Technician A says a 0.001 in. or 0.002 in. bearing can be used ona stock crankshaft journal if the oil clearance [difference between the bearing diameter and the journal diameter] isslightly excessive and the journal is not excessively tapered or out of round. Technician B says 0.010 in., 0.020 in., and0.030 in. undersized bearings are only used when the crankshaft journals have been reground. Who is correct?
