 Here's how to go about cleaning the
T53-L-11 engine-
 First off, latch on to a quart of dry
cleaning solvent.
 If you're lucky enough to have air
pressure handy pour the solvent into
the pneumatic oil gun which is part of
the organizational maintenance A, B,
or C tool kit.
 Out in the dusty boonies get a hand-
pumped water fire extinguisher. Make
sure it's empty and clean. Pour the sol-
vent into the extinguisher so you'll be
able to spray 1 quart. With your trusty
general mechanic's tool kit in hand,
make for the bird. Take a couple of
helpers with you.

stash pencils, pens, matches, watches--any loose items. You're going to motor
over and run the engine, and the suction developed will snatch dropped items.
You know what that means ... FOD for real!
