The document provides guidance on overhauling intervals and expected service life for components in an engine. It recommends retightening tie rods and holding down bolts every 6-8,000 hours, as they are expected to last the total engine lifetime. Turbochargers should have their roller bearings changed every 12,000 hours after daily dry cleaning, and slide bearings changed every 24,000 hours following yearly manual cleaning and inspection.
