If it ain't broke don't fix it vs. preventative maintenance.


I have reason to believe that my alternator works just fine. Right now its on my bench. I took it off in preparation for a engine bay degrease/powerwash extravagnaza.....

With regard to the alternator.....I removed the brushes/regualtor and cleaned them alittle, I "erasered" the copper where the brushes contact. I reassembled it and it awaits reinstallation.....While Ive got it on my bench is there anything else I should consider regarding PM or should I leave well enough alone.....
