Summary
This guideline gives specifications and repair procedures for new and used cylinder blocks used with C4.4, C6.6 & C7.1 Engines. A cylinder block
that meets the specifications in this guideline can be expected to give normal performance. This normal performance will last until the next
overhaul.
Never install a part that does not meet the specifications in this guideline. During reconditioning, correct any conditions that might have caused the
original failure.
NOTICE

NOTICE
Failure to follow the recommended procedure or the specified
tooling that is required for the procedure could result in damage
to components.

Replacement Parts
Consult the applicable Parts Identification manual for your engine.
When replacement parts are required for this product Caterpillar
recommends using Caterpillar replacement parts or parts with
equivalent specifications including, but not limited to, physical
dimensions, type, strength and material.
Measurement Requirements
NOTICE
Precise measurements shall be made when the
component and measurement equipment are at 20°
(68° F). Measurements shall be made after both the
component and measurement equipment have had
sufficient time to soak at 20° (68° F). This will ensure
that both the surface and core of the material is at the
same temperature.
Illustration 3 g06238164
Cap all machined surfaces and plug all the hoses and fuel lines.
Clean all the external surfaces before the engine is disassembled. Clean all the external surfaces before the engine is brought into the shop. Use a
high-pressure washer to spray the engine with hot water and soap or 174-6858 Cleaner.
NOTICE
All reconditioned components should be cleaned again before
assembly. Any debris or residue on the parts such as metal
chips, carbon deposits, or sludge can enter the system. Debris
or residue can cause early engine failures.
After the initial cleaning of the engine, disassemble the engine. Refer to the appropriate Disassembly and Assembly manual for your engine.
All fasteners should be compared against Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8301, "Inspection and Reuse of Critical Fasteners Used in All
Engines". Pay special attention to head bolts, main bolts, connecting rod bolts, and rocker shaft bolts when considering reusability. Any visual
damage to the bolts should disqualify the bolt from reuse.
Note: Itis recommended to replaceall cylinder head bolts and the spacer plates (if applicable) on any engine that has experienced a failure of the
top deck/cylinder head joint.
NOTICE
Failure to remove all dirt, debris, and/or metal shavings from
openings, ports, and passages, will result in damage to the
engine and the related components. A cylinder block that is not
cleaned thoroughly will result in piston seizure or rapid wear of
the cylinder bores, pistons, and piston rings. Only the thorough
use of a rotary brush will correctly remove abrasive particles.

Table 4
Cylinders can be bored 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) oversized for C4.4, C6.6, and C7.1 and 1.0 mm (0.040 in) for C7.1. The cylinder bore diameter of the
stock head gasket is still acceptable to be used with the 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) oversized bore diameter. The standard head gasket can still be used as
long as the top deck height is still within the NEW specifications listed in Table 4.
Note: Refer to "Surface Texture of Cylinder Bores" for information on surface texture of the cylinder bores and more information on the specific
oversize boring procedures.
Table 5
Note: The Permissible Wave Depth in Table 5 should be added to top deck surface texture.
If the top deck surface of the cylinder block must be milled, the top deck must be milled prior to boring the cylinders. The top deck height is
measured from the centerline of the main bearing bore to the top deck surface of the engine block. When removing 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) or
0.50 mm (0.020 inch) from the top deck surface, a new thicker head gasket must be used.
The following table lists the part numbers of the head gaskets that are to be used as well as the oversized pistons.

To use the standard head gasket, the piston projection above the top surface of the cylinder block should be 0.21 mm (0.008 inch) to 0.35 mm
(0.014 inch).
When removing 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) from the top deck surface, the piston projection should 0.46 mm (0.018 inch) to 0.61 mm (0.024 inch). The
thicker head gasket must then be used.
The projection of the piston must be measured after any of the following components are replaced or if the top deck surface is machined.
Crankshaft
Cylinder head
Connecting rod
Refer to "Measuring Piston Projection" in this document for the correct procedure.
Note: The top of the piston should NEVER be machined to obtain the correct projection of the piston.

If piston projection is not within the allowed range, a different length of connecting rod may be used to achieve the correct projection. Different
lengths of connecting rods are available to help maintain the correct projection of the piston. The length of the connecting rod is determined by
offset machining the inner bore of the piston pin bearing. The offset will move the position of the piston, making the overall length of the connecting
rod shorter or longer. The projection of the piston will determine what length of connecting rod should be used.
The other option of correcting piston projection is to purchase a new piston pin bushing. The new bushing can have the center of the inside finished
diameter offset machined to change the projection of the piston.
Illustration 6 g06305063
Use the following procedure to measure the projection of the piston. Use the top surface of the cylinder block to zero Tooling (H).
1. Rotate the crankcase until the piston is just before top dead center.
2. Position Tooling (H) and Tooling (I) and slowly rotate the crankshaft to determine when the piston is at the highest position. Record this
dimension and determine if the piston projection is within specifications.

Camshaft Bushing
Illustration 9 g06305135
When replacing the camshaft bushing, the bushing should not protrude past the face of the engine block. The bushing should be installed to a
maximum depth (S) of 0.2 mm (0.008 inch) for C4.4, C6.6 & Tier 2 and 3 only C7.1) . The oil hole (T) in the bushing should be aligned with the oil
supply hole in the engine block. The bushing should be installed dry without the use of any lubricant. Be sure not to damage the block during the
removal of the old bushing.
Arc spray is the only validated and approved process for spraying under top supported liner flanges. Flame spray should only be used for deck
height recovery with the use of inserts under the liner flanges.

Grit blast - If the entire mating surface is to be arc sprayed, some shops prefer to pre-machine the surface. This
Mask for Grit process removes any major damage, allows for a recommended minimum 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) coating, reduces
Blast technique dependency in producing an even coating and can reduce material cost and finish grinding time.

During Spraying
Not to Exceed
Grit blast - If the entire mating surface is to be flame sprayed, some shops prefer to pre-machine the surface. This process
removes any major damage, allows for a recommended minimum 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) coating, reduces technique
Surface dependency in producing an even coating, and can reduce material cost and finish machining time.
Preparation
Method Precautions and care must be taken to properly mask and remove all grit from block surface and cavities.
Time between surface preparation and thermal spray application should be minimal. Allowing excessive time
between preparation and thermal spray will result in unacceptable coating performance.

Storage Procedures
Proper protection of the cylinder block from corrosion is important. Corrosion will start in as little as one hour after the cylinder block has been
cleaned.
When the cylinder block will not be inspected for one hour or less the cylinder block should be coated with a rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated
with clean engine oil. The cylinder block should be individually wrapped to prevent contamination, and should be stored in a protected area to avoid
damage. See Illustration 11.
When the cylinder block will not be inspected in two days or more the cylinder block should be coated with a rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated
with clean engine oil and should be placed in a container which is clean and structurally solid. The container should be covered or wrapped in
plastic to prevent damage and contamination to the cylinder block. See Illustration 12.
Refer to SEHS9031Special Instruction, "Storage Procedure for Caterpillar Products" for more information.
