To avoid confusion, I edited the original email below as I had some mistakes when I sent
the original note to Gena – my apologies to Gena and everyone for the confusion!

Gena/All,
In addition, if the tech can check to see if the two trunnions are touching together (red areas
in print below), this likely means a bad clamp and it will need to be replaced.
If a gap like shown below, it should be good…but it still wouldn’t be a bad idea for the tech
to check it.

Joshua,
                I am looking for a name of a tech that JEP can have check the torque on v band clamps of
engines belonging to AutoCar. Some of these engines may have even been shipped to Crosspoint to
hold/up fit for AutoCar. See the attachment for the complete list of ESNs.
                Below is the actual description of the issue along with what is needing to be checked.
Issue: There could be a gap is no gap in the trunnion area of the v-band clamp indicating
the clamp is not meeting its intended function.
Possible fail mode: Loose air transfer pipe/air leak.
Fix: Ensure that the clamp is torqued to 75 in. lbs and report any defective clamps with
ESN’s to JEP CQA.
