SERVICE BULLETIN TOPIC: Satety Controls IDENT NO: 1—2197A SUPERSEDES: 1—2197 DATE: March 19, 1982 REVISED SUBJECT: TEMPERATURE SENSORS FOR MAIN BEARINGS. MODELS AFFECTED: VHP-Series-Engines: Waukesha Engine Division has a system available for monitoring the temperature of each main bearing. The system uses thermocouples as sensing devices. Leads from the thermocouples are run to a junction box, mounted on or near the engine; monitors or scanners are connected at the box. Monitors and scanners can be set to detect a maximum temperature limit, and to activate an audio or visual alarm if the bearing temperature exceeds that limit. The monitoring system may be ordered on new engines, or may be added to an engine during a major overhaul. Due to the complexity of the project, we do not recommend field installation at any time other than overhaul (On engines equipped with this system, the thermocouples are mounted in the main bearing caps. Current production engines have bearing caps that are predrilled for thermocouples. Previous engines had undrilled caps; you must drill and tap a hole for a thermocouple in each cap before installing the system. The thermocouple leads pass through packing gland fittings mounted in the oil pan and are channeled to a junction box, where the customer-supplied measuring equipment is connected. The oil pan can be modified by drilling and tapping holes for the necessary fittings. MODIFYING UNDRILLED MAIN BEARING CAPS To install the system in an engine with undrilled main bearing caps, you must drill and tap a hole in each cap as follows: You must determine whether the engine has fully grooved or partially grooved lower main bearings before drilling and tapping holes. Previous engines had fully grooved lower main bearings. The hole must be drilled 3/4” trom the front face of intermediate caps, or 1-5/16" from the front face of all other caps. Current production engines have partially grooved lower main bearings. The holes must be drilled on center of the bearing caps. 1. Remove the bearing caps and identify the location of each cap. 2. With the front of the cap toward you, spotface it according to the dimensions given in the illustration. It is important to maintain the 7-1/64” + 1/16” dimension. The surface must be cleaned up through a minimum arc of 240° at a minimum radius of 1/4” (250 rms). This ensures a proper seating surface for the valve lock nut.

Engines with fully grooved lower main bearings: Find the center of the main bearing cap (6-1/8" from the side face). Mark off a 15° angle from the center of the cap to the spotfaced area. On all but intermediate caps, measure 1-5/16” from the front of the cap. On intermediate caps, measure 3/4” from the front face. Punch a mark at the intersection of the 15° angle and the 1-8/16” or 3/4” measurement from the front face of the cap. Engines with partially grooved lower main bearings: Punch a mark on the centerline of the cap. (See illustration.) ML-20-98 4. Remove the bearing shells, if not already removed. At the punch mark, drill a 272" ("I" drill size) diameter hole through the cap at @ 15° angle (as illustrated). Redrill the hole 11/32, 7/8” deep. Tap the hole 1/8"-27 NPSF, 5/8” deep. All holes should be free of burrs. Remove all drilling chips from the bearing caps and oil pan. 5. Replace the caps and the bearings. Torque to specifications and in sequence as instructed in Service Bulletin no. 6-1793C. Bearing caps must be reinstalled in their original locations. 6. Install the thermocouples in the drilled and tapped holes. The thermocouples are spring-loaded; they will seat themselves as you screw the threaded portion into the holes. a | ———— THeRMocourLe “71S?

MODIFYING STANDARD OIL PANS 6 AND 12 CYLINDER ENGINES On 6 and 12 cylinder engines, drill and tap seven holes on the left side of the engine oil pan. Before ¢rilling, spotface an area around holes 1 and 7 (see illustration) 3/4” in diameter, to a maximum depth of 1/16”. NOTE If the oll pan casting does not have door pads cast solid between door openings, you must spotface an area for each drilled and tapped hole. Drill all seven holes 1-3/4” from the top of the pan and 5-7/8" to the right of the center lines of the oil pan doors. Holes 1, 3, and 5 are drilled 11/32" diameter through the pan to a depth of 1-3/8”; this is to break any sharp edges. Tapthe holes 1/8”-27 dryseal NPSF to a depth of 5/16". Holes 2, 4, 6 and 7 are drilled 11/32” diameter through the pan, and tapped 1/8”-27 dryseal NPSF to a depth of 5/16”.

MOUNTING THE CLIPS AND JUNCTION BOX - 6 CYLINDER ENGINES On 6 cylinder engines, the leads are held by four clips. Clip supports are needed to mountthe first two clips, due to their low mounting holes. (See illustration.) The first clip (part _no. 169013) needs @ support {part no. 168847C), which is mounted in the uppermost of the two holes between the first and second oil pan doors. Use a 3/8"-16 x 3/4” screw and a lock washer to fasten the support (part nos. 21343 and 21052). Mount the clip to the support with the same hardware and a nut (part no. 21189). fa \ ae retioe ML21361 CLIPS AND SUPPORTS: 6 CYLINDER ENGINES Page 4 of Service Bulletin no. 1—2197A dated March 19, 1982, The second clip (part no. 169013G) must also be mounted on a support (part no. 168847F), Mount the clip under the top bolt of the cil dipstick flange. Mount the remaining two clips in existing holes on the engine crankcase, with 3/8"-16 x 3/4” cap screws and 3/8” lock washers (part nos. 21343 and 21052} You may mount the junction box in any convenient place, either on or off the engine; see illustration for the suggested on-engine mounting location. Keep in mind, however, that all thermocouple leads must reach it. Leads are 15 feet long. Attach the box to the mounting bracket, using 1/4"-20 x 5/8” cap screws, 1/4” lock washers and 1/4” nuts (part nos. 21273, 21050 and (21173). Use 1/2”-13 x 3-1/2” cap screws and 1/2" lock washers to mount the bracket (part nos. 21444 and 21084). If you are mounting iton the engine, remove four of the bolts that support the oil header assembly above the second oil pan door. Mount the bracket in these holes. Since this location is over the oil header assembly, use spacers (part no. 120132D) on the mounting screws between the bracket and the header. Mount the terminal block track in the box, using no. 10-32 x 1/2” phillips head screws, no. 10- 32 nuts and no. 10 lock washers (part nos. 21128, 21263 and 21049). The leads pass through heat-shrink tubing and into a connector mounted in the bottom of the box. One end of the tubing should be flush with the end of the connector, inside the box. If the bracket is mounted in the suggested on- engine location, it will interfere with the oil line connection for the accessory drive. Use a pipe nipple and a coupling (part nos. 65110X and 78209W) at the oil line connection to extend it out of the way. MOUNTING THE CLIPS AND JUNCTION BOX - 12 CYLINDER ENGINES On 12 cylinder engines, the leads are supported by three clips. Use 1/2"-13 x 3/4” cap screws and 1/2” lock washers to mount the clips in existing holes on the crankcase (part nos. 21422 and 21839). A clip is also included to be mounted on the crankcase under an existing bolt. You may mount the junction box in any convenient place, either on or off the engine; see illustration for the suggested on-engine mounting location. Keep in mind, however, that all thermocouple leads must reach it. Leads are 15 feet long.
