New GenHead Pre-Service Service?

[mcreeferson]

I have a SLG184G (dual bearing 30kw brushless) unit on it's way to me now from CGG. I am curious what standard practice is with these heads. Should I be pulling it apart on arrival to inspect, repack/replace bearings, etc, etc? What's the conventional wisdom there?

My experience with CGG is they do a real decent job of sorting  or being certain that suppliers dont stick them with clunkers or both.  Personally I check all fasteners and connections and otherwise run them as received and tell my customers to do same.

The brushless Stamford types have all been quite good in terms of specs and quality control. No known problems with the SLG types. Lister/Petter in recent years was having their name brand sets built with these same ones.

That's good to hear.

My nearly 400 pounds of gen-head showed up today. She seems to be in perfect order (visual inspection), and turns super smooth and free (in spite of the weight of the rotor).
