Preparation Recommendations
Personal injury can result when using cleaner solvents.
To help prevent personal injury, follow the instructions and

warnings on the cleaner solvent container before using.
Personal injury can result from air pressure.
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
Personal injury can result without following proper procedure.
When using pressure air, wear a protective face shield and
protective clothing.
Maximum air pressure at the nozzle must be less than 205 kPa
(30 psi) for cleaning purposes.
Note: Clean exterior of the valve covers and cylinder heads prior to disassembly to minimize cross-contamination.
Before you inspect a part, clean the part thoroughly to ensure that all components are free from rust, oil, burrs, and debris prior to inspection. A
surface irregularity can hide the indication of an unacceptable defect.
Use a proper lifting device to provide safety to the operator. Also, use a proper lifting device to prevent damage to the part when you lift the part.
During cleaning, do not damage machined surfaces.
Do not use pressurized air to dry internal components. Compressed air has moisture and contaminants that can cause premature failure of internal
components.
Put hydraulic oil on all machined surfaces to prevent rust or corrosion if inspection is not done immediately after cleaning. Carefully store the parts in a
clean container.
Inspect all flange mating surfaces for fretting. Ensure that flange mating surfaces are true and free from raised material resulting from rust, nicks, and
dents.
Use appropriate thread taps to chase all threaded holes.
Refer to SEBF8148 Reuse and Salvage Guidelines , "General Salvage and Reconditioning Techniques" for available Crack Detection Methods.
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 Techniques
NOTICE
Precise measurements shall be made when the component and
measurement equipment are at 20° C (68° F). Measurements
shall be made after both the component and measurement
equipment have had sufficient time to soak at 20° C (68° F). This
will ensure that both the surface and core of the material are at
the same temperature.
Nomenclature of Pistons and Pistons Pins

Single Piece Forged Steel Piston Disassembly and Assembly Procedures
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
Piston and pin marking for orientation.
Before removing the piston pin and the piston, make sure to mark the piston, the pin, and the connecting rod with the corresponding rod number if the
piston is being used again. The markings should be made so that the piston and the piston pin can be assembled exactly as taken apart. Mark the piston
and the piston pin as shown in Illustration 3. When the piston and the piston pin are installed, the markings should line up again as before disassembly.
Straight piston pin
Piston pin with barrel shaped ends.
There are three types of piston pins: a straight pin (Illustration 4), a barrel shaped pin (Illustration 5), and a tapered pin (not shown). The ends of a barrel
shaped pin has a cross section that resembles that of a barrel. The barrel end can easily be confused with a wear step. A tapered pin has a slight taper
from the middle of the pin to the outside edge.
Disassembly Procedures for 3600, G3600, and C280 Piston

Note: Caterpillar does not recommend disassembly and subsequent assembly of the 3618 piston or gas piston. Disassembly and subsequent assembly
should only apply to the diesel engine that has three and four piston rings.
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
Piston with single bolt
Piston with four studs and nuts
There are two basic styles of pistons. The current design for diesel engines incorporates a single bolt that retains the piston crown to the piston skirt. The
former design for diesel engines incorporates four studs that are used to retain the piston crown to the piston skirt. The current design and original design
for the gas engines incorporates four studs that are used to retain the piston crown to the piston skirt. There was a design for the gas engines that
incorporated a single bolt to retain the piston crown to the skirt. Both of these types of pistons have two important characteristics that include a graphite
coating on the nodular iron or on the aluminum skirt and an oil passage inside the steel crown.
Prior to the disassembly of the piston, permanently mark the crown and the skirt of each piston with an identification number or the identification numbers
of the crown and skirt should be documented. Identification numbers are stamped on the outer rim of the crown and on the underside of the boss for the
skirt. If pistons are marked, then the crowns should be marked on the top of the outer rim. Skirts should be marked on the bottom of the rim of the boss for
the skirt. These steps will ensure that reusable crowns and skirts can be matched before placing the piston assembly in the engine. Refer to Reuse and
Salvage Guideline, SEBF8187 , "Standardized Parts Marking Procedures" for additional information.
Avoid hard contact on the piston skirts.
Do not use a mallet that is rubber or plastic to loosen the skirt from the crown.
Do not hammer on the piston skirt.
Remove the hardware that is on the underside of the skirt which is either one bolt or four nuts according to the piston design.
Suspend the piston upside-down with a lifting strap.
Use the brass rod by inserting the end through the central drain hole, and disassemble the piston with the aid of a hammer.
Disassembly Procedure For Single Bolt Three Ring Piston

1. Set the piston upside down on the crown. Clean the area around the bolt.

6. Measure the wear step on the outer abutment joint in four places. The measurements should be taken 90° apart. Use a depth micrometer to measure
down from the bottom of the crown to the inner edge of the abutment surface and then the middle of the surface. Be sure that all surfaces are cleaned
with a non-abrasive procedure. If the difference between the two measurements is less than 0.10 mm (0.004 inch), the crown can be reused.
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
Measure the length (X) of the bolt to make sure that it has not stretched. The length of the bolt should be less than 81.4 mm (3.20 inch). If the length of the
bolt exceeds the specification, use the 329-2411 Parts Kit to replace the bolt.
One-Piece Pistons
The graphite coating on the skirt helps to prevent scuffing and seizure during cold starting. The coating is dull, dark gray and the thickness is
approximately 0.020 ± 0.004 mm (0.0008 ± 0.0002 inch). The purpose of the coating is similar to the lead tin overlay of a main bearing or a connecting rod
bearing. The coating is put on the piston during the manufacturing process. There are no replacement coatings that can be applied outside of
manufacturing. Be extra careful not to damage the coating during disassembly, cleaning, inspection, and assembly. It is important not to remove more of
the graphite coating during the operation of cleaning.
The graphite coating will eventually wear off the surface of the piston during normal engine operation. This wear is normal and the wear will not create
operational problems. Graphite coating can be worn from any portion of the piston but the coating is not typically worn from an area that is ± 40 degrees of
the axis of the piston pin. The piston skirt must be smooth and free of any deep scratches and material built up.
The tops of some one-piece pistons have a hard anodized layer. This layer protects the top of the aluminum piston from the heat of combustion in high
output engines. If the anodized layer is removed, the layer cannot be replaced. The anodized layer is not present on pistons that were manufactured after
1996. The crowns on two-piece pistons do not have the anodized layer. The oil passage, which is used for cooling, runs along the circumference of the
crown. The location of the oil passage can be found by locating the holes in the bottom of the piston. The slot for lubricating the piston pin in each piston
pin bore is also an oil passage.
Note: During cleaning of the piston with glass beads, close all oil passages to keep out debris.

Note: Do not mix and match pistons and piston pins from different cylinders. Ensure that the pistons and piston pins are oriented properly to the front of
the engine upon reassembly.
NOTICE
Piston and piston pins wear together, mixing the parts may
cause pin seizures.
This color coded piston shows the risk/stress areas of the piston. Illustration 20 is a one piece graphite coated piston but applies to all pistons.
(1) Red - High risk/stress area of the piston.
(2) Yellow - Medium risk/stress area of the piston.
(3) Green - Low risk/stress area of the piston.
Anodized Layers
The tops of some one-piece pistons have a hard anodized layer. This layer protects the top of the aluminum piston from the heat of combustion in high
output engines. If the anodized layer is removed, the layer cannot be replaced. The anodized layer is not present on pistons that were manufactured after
1996. The crowns on two-piece pistons do not have the anodized layer.
Oil Passages
The oil passage, which is used for cooling, runs along the circumference of the crown. The holes for the oil passage can be found in the bottom of the
piston. The holes can also be found in the slot for lubricating the piston pin in each piston pin bore.
Steel Crown and Aluminum Skirt

This style is regarded as a one-piece piston assembly because the assembly should not be separated into two pieces. Do not separate the crown from the
skirt. It has two important characteristics: a graphite coating on the aluminum skirt and a separate steel crown.

NOTICE
Never disassemble the crown from the skirt. The pistons are
assembled at the factory using special procedures and the
crowns are matched with the skirts. This procedure cannot be
duplicated in the field. Special procedures and tooling are
required to tighten the bolts holding the crown to the skirt. Do
not attempt to check or retighten the bolts.
The graphite coating on the skirt helps to prevent cold start scuffing and seizure. The coating is approximately 0.020 ± 0.004 mm (0.0008 ± 0.0002 inch)
thick, dull (not shiny) and dark gray. The coating has a purpose like the lead-tin overlay on an engine bearing. The coating is put on the piston during
manufacture. There are no replacement coatings that can be applied in the field. Be extra careful not to damage any of the coating during cleaning and
inspection.
The graphite coating will eventually wear off the piston surface where the piston contacts the liner. This wear is normal and will not create problems. Do
not remove more of the graphite coating during the cleaning operation. The coating can be worn on any portion of the piston. The piston skirt must be
smooth and free of any deep scratches and material build-up.

Cleaning Procedure of Pistons and Piston Pins

Make a quick visual inspection of the piston before cleaning. If no obvious defects are found, clean the piston.
Solvent
Clean any piston that is made by Caterpillar with high quality, biodegradable solvents. Remove all carbon deposits with a solvent that does not affect the
aluminum in the pistons.
Glass Beads
Use this method only when the preferred method is ineffective. Cleaning the piston with glass beads requires certain precautions. Glass beads can alter
the dimensions of the piston. The beads can hide cracks during visual inspection also.
Never clean the piston with glass beads which are larger than 230 microns (0.009 inch). Glass beads of size 10 are 88 microns (0.0035 inch) to
149 microns (0.0095 inch) and air pressure of 550 kPa (79.7720 psi) to 620 kPa (89.9248 psi) are used to achieve the desired results. Glass beads of size
9 are 125 microns (0.0049 inch) to 177 microns (0.0070 inch) and beads of size 11 are 75 microns (0.0029 inch) to 125 microns (0.0049 inch). Sizes 9
through 11 are also acceptable. Change the glass beads and check the nozzle regularly for best results.
Follow these guidelines to clean pistons with glass beads.
1. Do not use aluminum oxide or an abrasive material in place of glass beads.
2. Do not use a wire brush or a wire wheel.
3. Do not use steel shot.
4. The method of using glass beads can push a small amount of material from the ring band into the ring groove. This material can be felt with a
fingernail. If the material is not removed, the ring will not move freely in the groove. Remove this material carefully with a triangular file or a flat file. Do

Piston Skirt with Graphite Coating

Clean the graphite coating on the piston skirt with a solution of liquid detergent and water. The graphite coating can be cleaned with water and a solution of
liquid detergent which contains little chlorine content.
Put the piston into this solution with enough time to loosen carbon and oil deposits. Remove the piston when the piston is clean. To clean the skirt faster,
heat the solution to a temperature near 55 °C (131 °F).
Note: If more than 50% of the graphite coating is missing from the skirt, the piston is not reusable
Never use glass beads to clean the skirt (Illustration 24) or the oil ring groove. Use a small brush to brush the oil ring groove with previously used soap and
water.
Damage of the skirt below the oil ring groove may be caused by glass beads.
Protect any graphite coating. Place a protective cover over the skirt and the oil ring groove. Illustrations 25,26,27, and 28 show the areas that need
protection from glass beads. (Glass beads must not get into the oil passages.)

Piston Crown with Anodized Layer

Some one-piece pistons have a hard, anodized layer on top of the pistons. This layer protects the top of the aluminum piston from the heat of combustion.
The layer will last as long as the life of the piston during normal operating conditions. If the layer is removed, the layer cannot be replaced. On one-piece
pistons, the glass beads cannot be used to clean the top of the piston or the skirt. Cover the top of the piston when glass beads are used to clean the ring
grooves. Refer to Illustration 33.
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
Protect the skirt and top of piston from glass beads.
Due to structural improvements to the oil gallery and the piston crown, the anodized layer is no longer necessary. The piston has a coating which is a
mixture of phosphate and graphite. This mixture has been shown to be ineffective by data from the field and laboratory.
The new piston without the anodized layer and phosphate and graphite coating can be interchanged with the earlier made piston that contains these two
features. The pistons with the coating and the pistons without the coating can be distinguished only by a difference in color. Refer to Illustration 34 and
Illustration 35. The difference in color has no effect on the ability to use the pistons.
Pistons without the anodized layer can be cleaned without the cap that is required for the anodized piston. Follow all these guidelines for cleaning the
pistons without the anodized layer. Anodized Pistons must follow the same guidelines for protection of the anodized layer and coating of a mixture of
phosphate and graphite.
Old style of an anodized piston with coatings of a mixture of phosphate and graphite
New piston with no anodized layer or coating of a mixture of phosphate and graphite
To clean the tops of pistons with an anodized layer, use a solution of hot water and soap in the same way as cleaning the skirts. Water may be used to
clean the piston crown.
Protect the anodized layer of the piston with a plastic cap when you clean the piston with glass beads. The size of the cap is determined by the diameter of
the piston and the depth of protection needed.
Pistons with Steel Crown and Aluminum Skirt

The piston has four ring grooves at the top of the assembly. The top two ring grooves are machined in the steel crown. The bottom two ring grooves are
machined in the aluminum skirt. Be sure to use different methods and procedures to clean each material (steel and aluminum). Clean the steel crown with
a chemical solution to remove carbon build-up. Clean the aluminum skirt with a solution of liquid detergent and water to prevent damage to the graphite
coating.
Protect Oil Passages

Tape or plug the oil passages, used for feeding the crown area and the bottom oil ring, when using glass beads. The locations of the oil passages are:
The hole on the bottom of the piston skirt which feeds the piston pin
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
The four cross drilled holes from the bottom ring groove to the inside diameter of the piston
The hole in the center of the bottom side of the piston crown and the piston pin lube slot in one piston pin bore
For 3600 pistons check the holes that are in the top of the piston as the threads might need to be lightly tapped due to carbon or debris buildup. This
will ensure that the lifting hole threads will not be damaged. Use a Thread Tap that is 1/2 inch 13 NC to tap the lifting holes.
Earlier production pistons may have four lube slots in the pin bore.
Protection for the Graphite Coating

During glass bead cleaning, protect the graphite coating on the skirt and the bottom two ring grooves. Let the protective cover slightly overlap the crown
and skirt joint. There will be a small open joint approximately 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) at the parting line of the crown and the skirt. This cover will eliminate the
possibility of glass beads becoming lodged in this opening.
Several methods can be used to protect the graphite coating on the bottom of the aluminum skirt. The methods are:
Tape
Shim stock with band clamp.
Rubber tubing
O-ring for the oil ring groove
A used liner or cylinder the size of the piston with a stop to position the piston with only the top two ring grooves exposed above the mating joint surface of
the crown and skirt.
Cleaning The Aluminum Skirt

The aluminum surface of the graphite-coated skirt can be cleaned with a solution of liquid detergent, with little or no chlorine content, and water.
Bonderite® C-AK 319 mm, Alkaline Cleaner is recommended for cleaning aluminum parts. Mix Bonderite® C-AK 319 mm, Alkaline Cleaner to the
recommended concentration for aluminum parts. Caterpillar recommends testing and evaluating the recommended concentration of Bonderite® C-AK 319
mm, Alkaline Cleaner on your specific parts, with your specific equipment. Extreme cases of carbon buildup may require a slightly higher concentration
and longer soak time to remove.
Let the piston stand in this solution, normally one to two hours, to loosen carbon and oil deposits. Remove the piston when the piston looks clean. To clean
the skirt faster, heat the detergent water solution to a safe temperature. Flush the oil passages with a pressure washer.
Note: If more than 50% of the graphite coating is missing from the skirt, the piston is not reusable.
NOTICE
Never use glass beads to clean the graphite-coated skirt and the
bottom two piston ring grooves. Clean the bottom two ring
grooves in the aluminum skirt with a small brush that has nylon
bristles. Use the same solution of soap and water.
Cleaning The Steel Crown

The steel crown can also be cleaned with a chemical solution, or glass beads. Flush the oil passages with a high-pressure washer and Bonderite® C-AK
319 mm, Alkaline Cleaner to remove any contaminates from oil passages.
When using glass beads to clean pistons, protect the following from bead damage: the graphite coating, the pin bore surface, and the lube slot in the
piston pin bore. Tape all surfaces and oil passages to prevent damage or beads from entering the passages.
When using glass beads to clean the crown and ring grooves, follow these requirements:
Use size 10 glass beads, 88 to 149 microns (0.0035 to 0.0059 inch) under 620 kPa (80 to 90 psi) air pressure to provide the best results.
Never use glass beads larger than 230 microns (0.0091 inch) to clean any part of the piston.
Change the glass beads and check the condition regularly for best results.
NOTICE
1. Do not use aluminum oxide or any other abrasives instead of
(or mixed with) glass beads.
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
2. Do not use steel shot.
3. The glass bead method may force a small amount of material
into the ring groove. If this material can be felt with the
fingernail, remove the material with a triangular file. Failure to
do this, will prevent the ring from moving freely in the groove.
Do not put a chamfer on either side of the ring groove.
Oil Passage Holes In The Piston

Flush all oil passages and outside ring surfaces with clean engine oil before storage or installation into the engine. Store the pistons by covering them with
sheets of plastic after cleaning.
NOTICE
It is important to check all the oil passages after the piston is
cleaned, making sure that the passages are free of debris or
glass beads. Any foreign material left in the oil passages will be
washed out later into the engine lubrication system and damage
engine components.
Two-Piece Pistons
The two-piece piston crowns may be cleaned with glass beads. However, several areas of the piston must be protected from the glass beads. Refer to
Illustration 36.
Areas which need protection from glass beads on two-piece pistons
(21) Sharp edge of crater
(22) Outer edge of piston crown
(31) Lower edge of crown
Use an O-ring to protect the oil ring groove.
After cleaning the piston with glass beads, use air pressure to remove debris that entered the oil passages of the piston. Wash the piston again after
cleaning with glass beads. Apply the rust preventive to the crown of the two-piece piston.
Piston Pins
Prior to conducting a visual inspection, the piston pins must be cleaned. A good solvent can normally remove deposits of dirt and oil, but the solvent will
not remove discoloration. While discoloration is acceptable for reuse, some discoloration can be removed with the 8T-7748 Deburring Wheel. Refer to
Illustrations 37,38, and 39.
Note: Do NOT use this type of cleaning on coated piston pins.
Note: Piston pins do not need to be cleaned if the surfaces of the pins are smooth and the surfaces have an acceptable surface texture.
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
Use only 8T-7748 Deburring Wheel to clean the discoloration from the piston pins. If 8T-7748 Deburring Wheel is used properly, then the surface texture
will not be damaged.
Use only the 8T-7748 Deburring Wheel that is installed with two 6V-2032 Adapters to clean the piston pin.
The discoloration around the circumference of the piston pin is acceptable if the surface is still smooth.
Note: Do not use the 6V-2033 Polishing Brush which looks like the 8T-7748 Deburring Wheel. See Illustration 37.
If the deburring wheel is used correctly, metal will not be removed and the correct surface texture of 0.125 µm (5.0000 µinch) will be maintained.
The 8T-7748 Deburring Wheel has an outer diameter of 203.2 mm (8.00 inch). The inner diameter is 76.2 mm (3.00 inch). The width is 25.4 mm
(1.00 inch). If necessary, the 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) pilot hole on 6V-2032 Adapter can be made larger. Two wheels can be installed together for more width.
Use a piece of 76.0 mm (3.00 inch) tubing to hold the wheels together. Check the information on the wheel for the correct maximum revolutions per minute
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
(RPM) for operation. Then check the RPM of the grinder. It is important to turn the piston pin slowly against the wheel. Do not hold the piston pin in the
same position for more than five seconds. The finish must be even in smoothness around the piston pin.

During the visual inspection of the piston pin bore, carefully inspect the snap ring groove of the piston for damage or wear. Do not use the piston again if
the groove is excessively worn or damaged. Pistons should be checked in the snap ring groove for undetected wear by comparing the fit of the snap ring
in the old piston and in a new piston. The piston should not be reused if the effort to turn the snap ring in the used piston is significantly less than the new
piston.
Note: Orientation of the piston and piston pin is critical especially with one piece graphite coated pistons. Keep the pins orientated exactly how the pins
were removed from the pistons. Failure to do so may lead to pin seizure and engine failure.

Procedure to Measure Piston Pin Bores for C175 Pistons
NOTICE
Precise measurements shall be made when the
component and measurement equipment are at 20 °C
(68 °F). Measurements shall be made after both the
component and measurement equipment have had
sufficient time to soak at 20 °C (68 °F). This will ensure
that both the surface and core of the material is at the
same temperature.

View of Piston Pin Bore Plug Gage Assembly 491-3253 and Air Gage Regulator Column Amplifier 491-3146.
An air gage is the only method for measuring pin bore.
It is not necessary to check the piston pin bore diameter if the piston pin has been found with rotation that was easy during disassembly. If a piston has
been in an engine event which has caused force against the piston, check the pin bore for distortion.
Refer to manufactures operating manual for step-by-step instructions setup and measuring the pin bore.
To provide addition clarification and details, a Caterpillar Channel 1 video has been created outlining the critical steps in measuring the piston bore.
Reviewing the videos is recommended prior to starting the measuring process.

Note: Measuring ring grooves can consume a considerable amount of time. Make sure that the piston is reusable by all other measurements and criteria
before performing the procedure to measure piston ring grooves.

Pitting in the bottom ring groove. DO NOT USE AGAIN
The ring groove gauge can be used on all pistons to inspect the grooves for the keystone ring. This gauge is recommended over former methods of
checking ring groove wear because of increased tool accuracy. This gauge works on both one and two-piece pistons. Refer to Table 7 for the correct
gauge part number.
Gauge is aligned with the center of the piston and the gauge has no side play.
Gauge does not slide far enough to align with the center of the piston.
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
Gauge is aligned with the center of piston and the gauge has side play. Any amount of side play is not acceptable.
Table 7 provides specifications for the piston and specifications for the piston ring.

Correct use of the ring groove gauge. The gauge should not go in the groove past the gauge line that is on the top of the gauge.
Follow this procedure to determine ring groove wear.
1. Ensure that the piston is clean.
2. Visually inspect the piston before proceeding further.
3. Select the proper Ring Groove Gauge from Table 7 and use the proper Ring Groove Gauge to measure the piston ring grooves.
4. Check the ring grooves in two locations at 90 degrees from the pin bores. If the gauge goes into a groove past the gauge line near the end of the
gauge, do not use the piston again. Never use force to push the gauge into the groove.
5. The gauges have a gauge line across the width of the gauge for determining the maximum penetration of the gauge.
6. Reference Table 7 for the applicable specifications for piston ring grooves.
Inspect the Iron Band

Some one-piece pistons use an iron band for the top and intermediate ring grooves. The iron band is bonded to the piston during the manufacturing
process. High potential exists for damage to the bonding for the iron band when the engine encounters cold starts of 10° C (50° F) or less. The result will
be a loose iron band. If the iron band is loose or free, the piston cannot be used again. Identifying a loose iron band is difficult with a visual inspection.
Ultrasonic inspection is the only reliable method to determine if the iron band is correctly bonded to the piston body. The manufacturer uses the ultrasonic
method to verify the retention of the iron band.
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0

Use an ultrasonic flaw detection unit to determine if the band has separated.

Display of Ultrasonic Flaw Detection Unit
The display of the ultrasonic flaw detection unit will show if the piston can be used again. Illustration 151 and Illustration 152 show readings of bands. The
readings can determine if the piston can be used again.

Correctly bonded bands should give a similar reading to the one above.

Reconditioning Procedure
There are several methods for reconditioning minor damage to the piston crown and the piston skirt. Use the method for cleaning that is least aggressive
during the process for reconditioning of the piston.
A depression results when a part is scratched, nicked, or dented. The scratch, the nick, or the dent can also result in an area that is raised.

Carefully remove the raised metal area that is caused by nicks, dents, and scratches. Illustration 248 shows examples of the various types of damage to the piston. In order for the piston to
be reused, the piston must be cleaned and the area of metal that is raised must be removed from the surface.
(A) Scratch
(B) Raised Metal
The raised areas of the piston can be removed by several methods. The most common methods of removing raised metal are a file, a polishing wheel, or
an abrasive disc. The file is the most aggressive method for removing raised material. The file is recommended for small areas on the surface for material
that has been raised more than 0.20 mm (0.008 inch). Use caution to ensure that only the raised material is removed. Be sure that no indentations are left
behind from the reconditioning procedure.
The polishing wheel and the abrasive disc are used to remove small scratches in larger areas. The piston skirt is made from aluminum. To reduce the risk
of damage to the piston, manual buffing is preferred to a polishing wheel to remove scratches and imperfections. Illustration 181 and Illustration 182 show
an example of a skirt that was buffed with an abrasive disc.
Piston Pins that are Reusable

A piston pin can usually be used again if the following specifications are met.
The piston pin does not have visible signs of scratches, grooves, or nicks.
The piston pin does not have indication of smearing or metal transfer.

Any wear on the plug must be evenly distributed around the top of the plug. Refer to Illustration 297. Normal wear will appear as a polished surface and no
material will be removed. If the top of the plug shows signs of wear on the material, do not reuse the plug.
NOTICE
If the plug or pin assembly is dropped, do not use it again.
Dropping can cause impact loading which can cause a crack in
the plug. The crack may not be visible during inspection. These
cracks can then cause the parts to fail which will result in
engine damage.
Piston Plug Assembly

When assembling the piston plug, take note of the following special assembly instructions.
1. Apply Loctite Hysol 9434 epoxy in a continuous bead where indicated in 298 on each pin plug.
2. Insert the plug into the wrist pin.
3. Do not allow any visible adhesive to remain on the outside of the plug after assembly.
4. Allow five days to cure at room temperature.
Retaining Rings
The retaining rings for piston pins cannot be reused once the engine has been run. A retaining ring must always be replaced with a new ring after being
removed from a piston.
Procedure for Measurement of Pistons and Pistons Pins

Note: Pin bore dimensions refer to the diameters before a manganese phosphate coating is applied. Allow 2.00 µm (78.7402 µinch) to 10.00 µm
(393.7008 µinch) when measuring pin bores with manganese phosphate coating.
Checking Ring Gap

Recommendations state replacement of the piston rings whenever the piston is removed. However, the piston rings may be reused only if the following
stringent criteria are met:
The engine must have operated with the original piston less than 8,000 hours.
There must be no visual defects on the piston ring.
Reuse the piston ring with the same liner or a new liner.

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.

Tool Part Number Description

H 1P-2403 Dial Indicator
I 1P-2402 Gauge Body
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.
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.
Piston Height
3054 & 3056

The piston height above the top face of the cylinder block is controlled by different grades of height of the piston. Identification of the height grade is by the
letter that is stamped on the top of each piston. The difference between each grade of height is 0.045 mm (0.0018 inch).

Piston Pin Measuring Locations

Straight Pin Locations
Straight piston pin diameter and roughness are measured in at least three places where the bushing has contacted the pin. Within the distance (A) from
each end and the middle of the pin (B). Distance (A) on straight pins is determined by visually identifying where the piston pin bushing has contacted the
pin. Refer to Table 29 for the minimum reuse diameter of piston pin.

(A) Measurement area of contact from piston pin bushing.
(B) Measurement area of contact from piston rod bushing.
Tapered Pin Locations

Tapered Pin diameter and roughness are measured in at least three places. At least distance (A) from each end and at the middle of the pin (B). Refer to
Table 29 for distance (A) and minimum reuse diameter of piston pin.

(A) Measurement of taper.
Barrel Shaped Pin Locations

Barrel Shaped Pin diameter and roughness is measured in at least three places. At the barrel radius peak, the distance (A) from each end and at the
middle of the pin. Refer to Table 29 for distance (A) and minimum reuse diameter of piston pin.
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0

(A) Measurement from end of pin to peak of barrel.
Procedure to Check Surface Texture

Always check the surface texture of piston pins with adequate tooling. Do not reuse the piston pin if the surface texture is too rough. Refer to Table 29 for
the surface texture specifications.
Piston Pin Specifications

Use the following guide for measuring the specifications of the piston pin.

Procedure for Assembly

Note: Caterpillar does not recommend disassembly and subsequent assembly of the 3618 piston or gas piston. Disassembly and subsequent assembly
should only apply to the diesel engine that has three and four piston rings.
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
Note: Provide a clean environment for assembly and torquing, and use a nonmetallic surface for storing and handling to avoid scratching the surfaces that
are matching.
Note: Ensure that the piston components are cleaned prior to assembly.

Piston Crown to Piston Skirt for the Piston that has Four Rings
The following is a set of step-by-step instructions for reassembly of the piston. Reference the applicable Tables that accompany the steps of the procedure
for the specifications for torquing the hardware and torque and then turn specifications.
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
1. Place the piston crown upside-down on a flat surface. Clean the stud holes (2) in the crown and the stud threads with a degreaser that is alcohol.
Before beginning the assembly, ensure that the bolt hole is clean and ensure that the bolt hole is dry. Assemble the studs (1) into the crown with no
lubrication, and torque the studs to 40 N·m (29.5 lb ft).
2. The new O-ring seal should be coated with P-80 Assembly Lubricant or another grease that is free from acid for ease of assembly. Make sure that all
the studs, the nuts, and the contact surface of the spacers are clean and dry. Minor scratches and minor nicks may be reworked at the discretion of
the technician.
Note: Remove all the plugs that were used during the cleaning of the piston.
3. Install the skirt onto the crown. Use a brush and apply a thin coat of Loctite® Graphite 50 LB 8504 Anti-Seize Lubridcnat or Loctite® Graphite 50 LB
8009 Anti-Seize Lubridcnat to the stud threads and to the contact surface of the hex nut.
4. To properly seat the crown to the skirt, torque all four nuts in a cross pattern to 80 N·m (59.0 lb ft).
5. Loosen all four nuts and recheck the torque for the studs. The torque should be 40 N·m (29.5 lb ft). Measure the distance from the end of the skirt to
the end of the studs and record the value.
6. Tighten the nuts until the nuts are finger tight. Measure the “inner” gap and record the “inner” gap between the steel crown and the aluminum skirt at
four points around the piston. The “inner” gap should be measured with a feeler gauge in two locations that are parallel to the pin bore and the “inner”
gap should be measured with a feeler gauge in two locations that are perpendicular to the pin bore. The measurement locations should be zero
degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees, and 270 degrees. The “inner” gap should not exceed 0.15 mm (0.006 inch). If the gap exceeds this measurement
the piston will not have the probability of meeting expected operating hours.
1/30/24, 3:26 PM SIS 2.0
7. Torque each nut in a cross pattern to 15 N·m (11.1 lb ft).
8. Use the SPX/OTC J36660 tool that is to torque and turn. Turn the nuts in a cross pattern to 90 degrees.
Note: There will be some clearance in the tooling that will accompany the twisting and the torque reaction that occurs during the turning portion of
torquing of the nuts and this will result in the nut that will have turned a number of degrees less than the indication on the keypad. To determine the
amount of lost turn, relax the force on the greaser bar and then pull back until all the clearance and the torque reaction is removed. Note the reading
on the keypad and offset the 90 degrees of turn by the amount of torque reaction. Normally, the clearance and the torque reaction will be
approximately 3 to 5 degrees that is dependent on the hand tools that are used.
9. Assembly Check
The retaining nuts should not turn when 55 N·m (40.6 lb ft) of torque is applied.
Note: The torque specification of the Assembly Check which is step 9 is not a replacement for the assembly procedure.
10. Remeasure the distance from the end of the skirt to the end of the studs and record the value.
11. Calculate the stretch of the stud and record the stretch of the stud. The distance is equal to 0.30 ± 0.05 mm (0.012 ± 0.002 inch). The stretch of the
stud equals the measured distance with the nuts that are loose minus the measured distance that is referred to in the previous statement. If the
stretch of the stud varies from the average stretch of the stud that is over 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) then the following steps must be repeated. Loosen the
nuts. Remeasure the distance. Tighten the nuts. Recalculate the stretch on the stud. If the variation of the stretch of the stud still exceeds 0.05 mm
(0.002 inch) then replace all the pieces for retention. The pieces for retention include the studs, the nuts, and the spacers.
12. Mark each skirt on the bottom of the rim or mark each boss that is part of the skirt to show the date that the piston was reconditioned. Refer to Reuse
and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8187 , "Standardized Parts Marking Procedures" for additional information.
Installation of the Piston Rings
NOTICE
Do not install the piston rings without the use of the piston ring
expander. Piston ring breakage and piston damage may result if
the piston ring expander is not used.
Use the following steps to install the piston rings for all engine models.
Note: Use the appropriate Ring Expander Group to install the oil ring first. Refer to Table 3 for the correct tool. The oil ring is the bottom piston ring on the
piston. A spring is on the inner diameter of the grooved oil ring. The middle of the spring is marked with a white band. Orient the ends of the spring to 180
degrees opposite side of the ring gap. The white band on the spring will be visible through the ring gap.
1. Grip the oil ring and grip the spring in the inner diameter of the ring. Separate the two ends of the spring until the oil ring is expanded enough to be
installed over the piston. After the oil ring is over the bottom groove in the piston, release the spring and allow the oil ring to contract into the groove.
Make sure that the white band on the spring is visible through the ring gap.
2. Use the appropriate Ring Expander Group to install the second compression ring. The second compression ring is the middle piston ring on the
piston. Install the compression ring with the side marked “UP 2” toward the top of the piston. Install the compression ring in the middle groove of the
piston. Orient the ring gap to 120 degrees away from the oil ring gap.
Note: Pistons with four piston rings have two Center piston rings. Use the Ring Expander Group to install the third compression ring with the side
marked “UP 3” toward the top of the piston. The ring end gap must be 120 degrees from the adjacent ring end gap. Use the Ring Expander Group to
install the second compression ring with the side marked “UP 2” toward the top of the piston. The ring end gap must be 120 degrees from the adjacent
ring end gap.
3. Use the Ring Expander Group to install the first compression ring. The first compression ring is the top piston ring on the piston (3). Install the
compression ring with the side marked “UP 1” toward the top of the piston. Orient the ring gap to 120 degrees away from the adjacent ring gap.
