Service Letter SL10-536/MNA

Dear Sirs Action code: At first opportunity

In few cases we have received reports that one or two bolt heads (Item 1)
have broken off on a camshaft section. In these cases we have recalled the Broken Camshaft Bolts
bolt for further investigations to determine the root cause. These investiga- (M16 - quality 12.9)
tions revealed that the bolts have either been over-tightened or exposed June 2010
to corrosion. SL10-536/MNA

Action: Concerns
Check if any bolts are loose or if bolt heads have broken off. We recom- Owners and Operators of MAN
mend that the camshaft bolts are checked at intervals of 2000 running Four-stroke Diesel Engines Type
hours. If bolts are found broken or loose, all bolts should be replaced by Propulsion L27/38.
new M16 - quality 10.9 bolts, lubricated with lube oil and tightened with
250 Nm.

It is very important that the thread holes for the bolt are cleaned from old grease
and oil before new M16 - quality 10.9 bolts are installed, in order to secure cor-
rect tightening torque.

By the above-mentioned solution we eliminate also the brittle sensitivity

when an M16 - quality 10.9 bolt is installed.

Please be aware that the thread types for the valve cam and the fuel cam are not
the same specification. Therefore, when purchasing new bolts, please do not 1
hesitate to contact us for correct specification of the necessary parts.

Yours faithfully
