21. Clean, inspect, and repair slide valve bushing by the following:
a.
Check that slide valve bushing is not scratched or scored.
b.
Use plug gage and check depth of seat.
c.
If slide valve seat is scratched or scored, use lapping compound and recondition.
d.
Use Prussian blue and gage blocks and inspect for low spots on bearing surface.
e.
Remove burrs from slide valve seat and regage.
f.
