The inspection shall confirm that correct reassembly was accomplished after disassembly and cleaning. All surfaces requiring a preservative have been treated in such a manner that it will withstand the terrain and environmental conditions it may encounter during transportation, handling, and storage. After cleaning, drying, preservation, and reassembly has been accomplished, additional inspections shall be performed to determine if all the procedures, processes, and practices have been satisfactorily accomplished.
