MEP-002A & MEP-003A engine manual

View attachment Scan0021.pdf I didn't know this manual existed. I just got it a few days ago. It has our beloved MEP-002a and MEP-003A engines in it. Complete rebuild information.

Good find. Do you have it in electronic format? I would be interested in it if you do.

That was just the cover!

That is not exactly the engine on the MEP-002a, the MEP-002a has a DJEM not DJEAM or DJEBM. I am not sure exactly what the differences are, but on the civilian engines of the DJB / DJE family the DJBA and DJB are similar I think the DJBA has staggered pistons and the DJB has non staggered.

All the rebuild info/ bearing clearances etc is already in the 'regular TMs" but here is the PDF anyhow

Looks roughly the same except for the packaging. This is apparently the precursor of the 2cyl HATZ APU me and jesusgatos have. They were mounted in the M88 and M992.

One thing that IS nice, is the drawings are of much better quality than the mep002/003 manuals. Obviously some isnt the same, but some is.

I bought this manual. I wish I knew it was on "Liberated" before I spent $30.00 ! At least now I don't have to print it out. There are a few differences since this is a multipurpose unit. It has it's own fuel pump, the oil fill tube, other small differences, but the meat of the engine and the specs are the same. Plus the pictures are MUCH better then the other manuals.

Almost correct.
The MEP-002A is a DJE. The DJEM was a marine motor. (Water cooled cyclinders)
The MEP-003A would have been a DJF but wasn't ever manufacturered for the civilian market.

As noted the one in the manual was used on M88 and M992 vehicles as APU. Looks like 28VDC generator was attached. The biggest difference I saw was the flywheel is on the front in the blower housing. The MEPs have the flywheel and started mounted aft in a bell housing.

Basically the same motor but different in some important aspects.

I saved a copy since I like multiple references. I also have the DJE Onan service manual. Again, very similar to the MEP-002A but some significant differences.

Lucky Dog, your dyslexia is showing, the marine water cooled model was the MDJE, which is the same water cooled engine used on the RDJE except with a radiator instead, unless it was the illusive "city water" cooled RDJE, which is really just an MDJE painted green instead of white.

p.s. the starter / flywheel position is the way the civilian units are done
