Introduction
This Reuse and Salvage Guideline contains the necessary information in order to allow a dealer to establish a
parts reusability program. Reuse and salvage information enables Caterpillar dealers and customers to benefit
from cost reductions. Every effort has been made in order to provide the most current information that is
known to Caterpillar. Continuing improvement and advancement of product design might have caused changes
to your product which are not included in this publication. This Reuse and Salvage Guideline must be used
with the latest technical information that is available from Caterpillar.

For additional information about this guideline, consult Repair Process Engineering of the Marketing &
Product Support Division at 1 (309) 675-5434.

Summary
A visual inspection is necessary if a crankshaft appears to be damaged. The visual inspection will determine if

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/s... 21/09/2008

the crankshaft can be used again after reconditioning. This guideline provides the criteria for visual inspection
of crankshafts.

If a crankshaft is within the specifications that are shown in this guideline and the guidelines that are
referenced then the crankshaft can be expected to give normal performance until the next overhaul when the
crankshaft is used again in the same application. If this guideline shows that a crankshaft cannot be used again
then do not use the crankshaft again. Correct any conditions that could have caused the need for
reconditioning.

General Information
When a crankshaft is removed, installed, or moved, be very careful not to damage the journals. When possible,
use 9S-9081 Sling Assembly or two 1.5 m (4.92 ft) nylon slings with a capacity of 675 kg (1488.1 lb). Refer to
Illustration 2.

Illustration 2 g01397231
Nylon slings are used to lift a crankshaft.

Put slings into position around two main journals or two rod journals that are equal distance from the ends of
the crankshaft. Ensure that metallic objects do not come in contact with bearing journal surfaces, fillets, or
other important machined areas.

If a crankshaft is lifted by any other method, some type of protection such as thick rubber hose, plastic tubes,
or soft brass must be put at the point of contact with the journals. These protective materials must be checked
regularly for signs of wear and/or embedded metal particles.

Prior to Visual Inspection


1. Immediately after a crankshaft has been removed from an engine, look for any clear signs of heavy
damage that cannot be corrected by reconditioning.

2. Clean the outside of the crankshaft with a high pressure wash, steam, solvent, degreasing vapor, or a
caustic cleaning and rinse.

3. If a crankshaft cannot be inspected within one hour after the crankshaft is cleaned then coat the journals
with a layer of engine oil in order to prevent corrosion.

Following Visual Inspection


Specific instructions for the following steps are found in ""Procedure to Clean Oil Passages" " and ""Storage
Procedures" " in this guideline.

1. All threaded plugs must be removed and the oil passages must be thoroughly cleaned.

2. All of the plugs from the core of the hole that lightens the crankshaft must be removed and the oil
passages must be thoroughly cleaned.

Plug Removal
Removal and Installation of Threaded Plugs

Plugs must be removed and oil passages must be thoroughly cleaned after visual inspection and any necessary
reconditioning operations have been made.

1. Use a 10.0 mm (0.39 inch) drill to remove damaged metal around the plug.

Note: If a plug cannot be removed easily with the use of a 3/16 inch Allen Wrench, drill through the

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/s... 21/09/2008

plug with a 6.0 mm (0.24 inch) drill and remove the plug with a 1/4 inch easy out remover.

2. After the oil passage has been cleaned, install a plug and tighten to a torque of 23 ± 4 N·m (203.6 ± 35.4
lb in). Refer to ""Procedure to Clean Oil Passages" " for the procedure to clean the oil passages.

3. The plug must be fastened in place. Use a punch to stake the web in three places. This will cause
distortion in the initial threads.

Some V-Engines with a 158.75 mm (6.250 inch) bore use a special self-locking bolt with a hexagonal socket
head instead of the threaded plug. This bolt can be removed with a 3/8 inch Allen Wrench. After the oil
passage has been cleaned, install a self-locking bolt and tighten to a torque of 47.5 ± 7 N·m (420.41 ± 61.96 lb
in).

Removal and Installation of Lightening Hole Plugs

1. Remove the snap ring with two screwdrivers, or cut the snap ring in half with a 1F-1160 Cold Chisel .

Note: Some snap rings can be removed with pliers or snap ring pliers. Regardless of the method, be
careful not to damage the snap ring groove or the bore.

2. Remove the plug with a 1P-3075 Slide Hammer Puller Gp . Make a small hole a little off-center of the
plug for easier removal.

3. Clean oil passages.

4. Install new core plugs. If the snap ring was twisted or cut during the removal process, install a new snap
ring. Make sure that the new snap ring fits correctly in the snap ring groove. Refer to Table 2 for the
correct drivers and sleeves that are needed for the installation of the plug and the snap ring.

Note: Use 8L-9802 plugs in V-Engines that have a 158.75 mm (6.250 inch) bore. Make sure that the
plugs are installed.

It is important for the oil passages to be thoroughly cleaned. The brush must go all the way to the end of each
oil hole. The oil holes must be cleaned from every possible angle in order to ensure that the oil holes are
cleaned correctly. The oil holes must be cleaned from both the rod journal and the main journal ends. Also, the
oil holes must be cleaned through the holes that lighten the crankshaft or the plug end of the oil holes. To make

sure that oil passages are kept free of debris, flush all passages with solvent during the procedure to clean oil
passages. After the oil passages are thoroughly cleaned, use an air hose to remove the remainder of the solvent.

Storage Procedures
Proper protection of the crankshaft from corrosion is very important. Corrosion will start in as little as one
hour after the crankshaft has been cleaned.

When the crankshaft will not be inspected for one hour or less the crankshaft should be coated with a rust or
corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil. The crankshaft should be individually wrapped in order to
prevent contamination, and the crankshaft should be stored in a protected area in order to avoid damage. Refer
to Illustration 65.

When the crankshaft will not be inspected in two days or more the crankshaft should be coated with a rust or
corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil and the crankshaft should be individually wrapped. The
wrapped crankshaft should be placed in a container which is clean and structurally solid. The container should
be covered or wrapped in plastic in order to prevent damage and contamination to the crankshaft. See
Illustration 66.

Refer to Table 4 for recommended rust inhibitors.
