Safety Regulations
For safe operation of this electro-magnetic device, please pay close attention to the safety notices whenever
these warning symbols are shown.
We would like to inform you about potential dangers whichmay occur. It is therefore imperative that you read
the following instructions carefully, and proceed accordingly.
DO NOT use the device in a dusty, humid or explosive environment => Danger of short circuit!
The BB-86 must not be used with an open handgrip!
DO NOT bypass or tape-over the handgrip tumbler-switch because this can be very dangerous!
Safety goggles or approved eye protection and must be worn during setup and working with the unit!
Persons with long hair must also wear a hairnet!
There is a risk of injury by the cutting bit which is attached to the rotating spindle!
Unplug the device before working on electronic components!
In all cases, repairs to the tool are only allowed to be performed by the local MIRA-dealer or the
manufacturer => (MINELLICorporation)!
Only use genuine MIRA spare parts, which are listed in the respective instruction manual!
DO NOT touch the electric circuits of the device. Contact with these circuits can be life threatening!
Modification of the electric elements of this device could cause severe damage!
Repairs of the BB-86 can be performed ONLY by authorised personnel or the MINELLI Corporation.
Safety guidelines for the BB-86
Thefollowing safetyguidelinesmust be observedduring everystepwhenworking withthisdevice. Thisincludes
set-up, during the processing of the counterbores and when performing maintenance or repairs. Disregard for
these guidelines is an incorrect use of the device.
Grounding of the device
The device must be properly grounded to prevent electrical shock. Therefore, the ground-clamp must be
connected to the ground of the main circuit.
Do not use in an explosive environment!
The use of the device in an explosive environment (i.e. flammable gases, vapours or dust) may induce the
ignition of these materials and is strictly prohibited.
ATTENTION!
1. To avoid the risk of partial overheating, the device must not be used in a dusty or steamy atmosphere.
2. The device must not be used ina wet environment. In addition the device must not be exposed to rain or dew.
This may induce an electric arc between electronic elements in the device.
3. Service and maintenance of the unit by authorised personnel only. Servicing the electronic components
of the device is dangerous because there can be a high risk of an electric shock. Components can
continue to hold a latent electrical charge for a short time after the device has been switched off. Before
beginning service-operations on the device, make sure that the capacitors of the device have been
discharged and do not hold any latent electrical charge.It is prohibited to work on the connectors of the
device if the device is connected to an electric power source. In addition, operating the device without a
mechanical shut-off switch or fuse in the power supply is strictly forbidden.
4. Service and adjustment operations must always be performed by a minimum of 2 people. In an
emergency, there must be a person that can cut off the electric circuit to administer first aid.
5. This device must not be used for emergency or safety tests.
6. Any contact with the electric circuits must be avoided. During the operation of the device, any contact with
these circuits can be life threatening. In addition, the device can be damaged by careless contact with
sensitive elements.
7. To avoid further risks, you must receive permission from the manufacturer, MINELLI Corporation, if you
want to add, change, replace and/or manipulate any parts of the device by yourself.
8. If any repair or replacement work needs to be performed, the BB-86 must always be disconnected from
the electrical outlet. For information about service and repair, please read the respective chapters in the
Instruction manual.

BB-86 Sleeve counterbore tooling
After a diesel engine block has been re-surfaced, the height of the counterbores must be re-adapted to the
size of the liner rims, minus the amount of the protrusion. Also in the case of leaking liners, the counterbores
must be refaced, preferably on the vehicle, without having to remove the engine. The portable MIRA BB-
unit performs both applications in a simple, quick and extremely precise operation. Figure 2
Processing of counterbore seats
The MIRA BB-device is simple to operate and the procedure is very fast and precise. After insertion of the
correct cutting tool, the device is placed onto the clean cylinderblock surface. The centering is done by
means of a roller device which is on the backside of the cutting tool, and guides the cross feed. A powerful
electro-magnet holds the device firmly in place. Figure 1 and Figure 3
The exact depth of the tool is set on the micrometric vertical feed. By turning the handle and simlutaneously
holding the crossfeed ring with the other hand, the carbide tip tool advances horizontally and cuts the
counterbore to its exact depth.

5. Horizontal feed with gear bushing
By firmly holding the gear bushing and simultaneously
turning the crank handle, a horizontal feed of 0.15mm
per revolution is achieved by means of a planetary
gear and a plano-thread. A reduced cross feed speed
can be obtained by pressing the fingers against the
gear bushing. Figure 8

3 Working method
3.1 Example A
This example applies to a dismounted engine where the block has been re-surfaced and new sleeves have
been inserted. In this case, the counterbore depth will have been reduced by the re-surfacing of the block,
and needs to be adjusted. Proceed as follows: Clean the sleeves and accurately measure the collar
thickness of each sleeve with the micrometer. Write the measurement onto each sleeve, and number them
in accordance with the cylinder. Subtract the amount of the protrusion specified by the manufacturer from
the collar thickness and write the result onto the surface of the block of each counterbore.
There are 2 different methods for working with the tool:
1. If the same turning tool is frequently used, it is recommended that the vernier be set to 0 (See step
14 on page 25). This can be accomplished after centering of the unit by means of the advancing
mechanism. The required depth can be set and blocked in this position. Now the proper surfacing of
the seat can be started (see „Turning tools and their application“ on page 18).
2. If the same turning tool is not used everytime, there is no advantage to be gained by setting the
vernier to 0. In this case proceed as follows: for each counterbore, the existing depth must be
measured and compared with the nominal value and the difference must be written down. After
centering of the unit, the tip of the turning tool must be set above the seat at the precise location
where the measurement was taken. By slightly turning the crank handle and simultaneously
advancing the vertical feed, the turning tool will come in contact with the seat (see steps 11 and 12
on the pages 24 and 25). Thereafter, the turning tool needs to be pushed back into the free area
with the hard metal tip positioned just above of the counterbore seat. Following that, the previously
measured depth difference needs to be set. Finally, the advancing mechanism locking screw must
be blocked and then the seat surfacing can be started.

Depending on the specifications of the engine
manufacturer, the inserted sleeve can be
protruding or recessed.

17
3.2 Example B
If an engine is only partially dismounted or only one counterbore needs work, the situation changes. In such
a case the block is not re-surfaced. Instead, the leaky sleeve has to be replaced by an oversized sleeve, or
a sealing sheet needs to be applied to the standard sleeve. The correct counterbore depth must be
determined by either the thickness of the sealing sheet, or the oversized collar.
If only one counterbore needs to be repaired, a repair centering ring is available to simplify the procedure.
The repair centering ring compensates for the protrusion of the neighboring sleeves (see „Special
accessories“ on page 36). The picture shows the important surfaces to be worked on. These include the
sealing surface for the cylinderhead and also the sealing and bearing surface for the sleeve collar. The
sleeve should be setaccording to the specifications of the engine manufacturer. Thesleeve canbe recessed
instead of protruding.
