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.Page 2 of Service Bulletin no. 1—2197A dated March 19, 1982.

3. 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.

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”.

CLIPS AND DRILLING LOCATIONS:
6 AND 12 CYLINDER ENGINES
Install a packing gland fitting in each hole and
torque the back portion of the fitting to 20-25 ft
Ibs. Before tightening the front portion of @
fitting, pull the corresponding lead through it
The leads cannot be taut; there must be a small
amount of slack, Take up the excess slack
between the thermocouple and the fitting by
gently pulling on the wire. After adjusting for the
proper amount of slack, secure the wire in
position by tightening the front portion of the
fitting.

PACKING GLAND FITTING
Outside the oil pan, theleads are carried upward
above the ail pan doors, and are then gathered
and run collectively to the junction box.
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).

CLIPS AND SUPPORTS:
6 CYLINDER ENGINESPage 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.

Attach the box to its mounting bracket, using
1/4"-20 x 5/8" cap screws, 1/4" lock washers
and 1/4"-20 nuts (part nos. 21273, 21050 and
21173). Use 3/8"-16 x 3/4” cap screws and
3/8” lock washers to mount the bracket (part
nos. 21343 and 21052). if you are mounting iton
the engine, attach the bracket in existing holes
between the third and fourth oil pan doors. Use
no. 10-32 x 1/2” screws, no. 10 lock washers
and no. 10-32 nuts to mount the terminal block
track in the box (part nos. 21128, 21049 and
21263). The leads pass through a Bakelite
bushing mounted in the top of the box.
MODIFYING STANDARD OIL PANS -
16 CYLINDER ENGINES
On 16 cylinder engines, drill and tap 10 holes on
the left side of the engine oil pan. Drill the holes
1-1/2" from the top of the pan and 5-9/16" to
the right of the center lines of the oil pan doors.Page 5 of Service Bulletin no. 1—2197A dated March 19, 1982.

Mount the bracket, using 1/2"-13 x 1” cap
screws and 1/2” lock washers (part nos. 21425
and 21084). If you are mounting it on the engine,
attach the bracket in existing holes above and to
the left of the first oil pan door. Use no. 10-32 x
1/2" screws, no. 10 lock washers and no. 10-32
nuts to mount the terminal block track in the box
(part nos. 21128, 21049 and 21263). The leads
pass through a Bakelite bushing that is mounted
in the top of the box.
WIRING THE JUNCTION BOX
See illustration for details of a sample junction
box for a 6 cylinder VHP series engine. Electrical
connections in the junction box are made at
terminal blocks. There are four wiring terminals
in each terminal block, and one block for each
thermocouple. Two of the wiring terminals are
for thermocouple leads, and the other two are
for the monitoring equipment hookup leads.
