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.

Failure to heed this warning can lead to premature failures,


product damage, personal injury or death.

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.

Initial Cleaning of the Engine

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.

Personal injury can result from working with cleaning solvent.

Because of the volatile nature of many cleaning solvents,


extreme caution must be exercised when using them. If unsure
about a particular cleaning fluid, refer to the manufacturer's
instructions and directions.

Always wear protective clothing and eye protection when


working with cleaning solvents.

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.

Cleaning the Cylinder Block


One of the major reasons for a bearing failure after an engine overhaul is damage caused by debris in the oil passages. Remove all dirt, debris,
and metal shavings from all openings, ports, and passages. Refer to M0080689Reuse And Salvage Guidelines, "Cylinder Block Cleaning and Audit
Procedure" for cylinder block cleaning.

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.

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.

Table 7

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

Bearing for the piston pin

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.

Measuring Piston Projection


When reusing the original piston, the original connecting rod should also be used in the original cylinder where the piston and rod assembly was
removed.

Table 9

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.

Cylinder Bore Chamfers and Centerline


The top of all cylinder bores must be chamfered. Refer to the following illustration and table for the correct dimensions.

Surface Texture of Cylinder Bores


The surface texture of the cylinder bores must meet the following requirements. Failure to meet the surface texture may result in the engine not
meeting the required emissions legislation. When an oversize piston kit is installed, all the pistons must be oversized and installed as a complete
set. Using only one or two oversize piston kits may result in an engine imbalance. If one piston bore needs to be machined oversize, all the
remaining piston bores must also be machined oversize. The oversizing of the piston bore is a four-step process. The angle of the crosshatch is
required to be 30°-35° off the horizontal axis of the bore.

removal of the old bushing.

Thermal Spray Procedures for Top Surface Deck


Spraying Under Top Supported Liner
Listed below are the arc and flame spray procedures for providing a sufficient thermal spray coating on top decks. Based on complexity and
process variables, arc spray is the preferred technology for this process.

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.

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.
