The present operating instructions include notes and guidelines for proper handling of the engine plant. It is
matched with the equipment condition and the type of fuel sold.
Since the type of fuel used considerably influences the service life of the components, the Caterpillar after-
sales service has to be consulted when it is required to change from destillate fuel operation to heavy fuel
oil operation, in order to ensure an expert retrofit of the engine plant and to exchange the necessary docu-
mentation. When changing over from heavy fuel oil operation to destillate operation, the Caterpillar after-
sales service should also be consulted for a longer period of time so that a documentation with extended
maintenance intervals can be made available.
With regard to operation and maintenance of the engine including the necessary work to be carried out, the
operating instructions are subdivided into the following chapters:

2.10 Disengage the barring device (not provided for the M 20 C).
DANGER
Danger when starting the M 20 C engine with barring rod still inserted.
For barring the M 20 C engine a barring rod is used.
The inserted barring rod is not monitored by the control system and, therefore, does
not cause a starting interlock. If all other starting conditions are met, this engine could
be started with an inserted barring rod!
There is danger to life due to the barring rod striking around or being hurled out.
Remove the barring rod from the hole in the flywheel before starting the engine.
2.11 Remove barring rod (W1) from the hole in the flywheel (for M 20 C).
2.12 Lift the measures for securing the engine to prevent unintentional starting.
Gas engine:
- Reestablish starting air supply.
- Insert the key into the key switch at the the “Local Data Board”.

When commissioning a new or overhauled cylinder head, the valve speed must be
measured relative to the engine speed.
In order to have a comparison basis to later measurements, these data must be
written down.
NOTE
On gas engines the valve rotators are to be inspected through the two openings in the
valve cover [blind plug (Fig. 1/1) located to the left and right of the firing coil (Fig. 1/3).
On diesel engines and dual fuel engines the valve rotators/ball races are to be

WARNING
Risk of injury due to spring tension!
In installed condition the valve springs are under strong preload.
Improper handling or using a defective tool may lead to severe injuries.
• Use personal protective equipment, check the tool before each use for possible
damage, and strictly follow the job instructions.
NOTE
The service life of the valve spindles depends on the fuel grade that is being used,
the operating conditions of the plant and the quality of repaired valve spindles / seat
inserts, and will thus differ from plant to plant.
For this reason the operator must determine the repair intervals valid for him
depending on the actual condition of the checked valve spindles. Each time a valve
spindle is removed check the seat geometry (see A5.05.01.08.01.nn,

For measuring run-out of the sealing surface C arrange the valve spindle with supporting points at 01
A and B so that it can be rotated but not shifted in axial direction. Reset the dial gauge to zero at
valve spindle sealing surface C and rotate the valve spindle by one turn. The maximum deflection
at the dial gauge must not exceed the value indicated above.
For measuring run-out of the stem under D arrange the valve spindle with supporting points at A
and B so that it can be rotated. Reset the dial gauge to zero in the middle area of measuring
distance L at the valve stem D and rotate the valve spindle by one turn. The maximum deflection
at the dial gauge must not exceed the value indicated above. If necessary, repeat the
measurement at other points within measuring distance L.
For measuring straightness at D, arrange the valve spindle with supporting points at A and B so
as to be parallel to the base surface (e.g. tracing plate). Reset the dial gauge to zero at one end of
measuring distance L at the top of the valve spindle stem D and move the dial gauge in axial
direction along the valve spindle stem until reaching the other end of measuring distance L. Do
not rotate the valve spindle during this process. The maximum deflection at the dial gauge must
not exceed the value indicated above. After that, rotate the valve spindle by 1/4 turn and repeat

Valve spindles with nitrided sealing surface manufactured after April 2013 are
additionally marked in the upper stem area. Previous marking for a nitrided M 25 C
valve spindle was e.g. “MaK 25-07 IN” (where “25” indicates the engine type, “07” the
variant, and “IN” stands for inlet valve). For valve spindles with nitrided sealing surface
the hyphen (minus) is replaced by “N”.
The markings listed in the following (old or new) are exclusively applied to valve
spindles with nitrided sealing surface. These valves must not be ground in or

2. Assessment 01
Valve spindles may only be reused when the criteria specified under 2.1 and 2.2 are met.
• The valve spindle sealing surface must be smooth and free of score marks all around, and
• the valve spindle sealing surface may only show a few dents by coke and no dents suggesting
blow by (1/a) that extend over 40 % of the height of the sealing surface.
• Carry out a crack test by means of dye penetrant inspection (Met-L-Chek) or magnetic particle
inspection. This test must not reveal any cracks in the valve spindle sealing surface
Fig. 5 shows a relatively smooth valve spindle sealing surface with outer contact pattern and
minor dents by coke. The contact pattern already extends over 50 % of the sealing surface,
nevertheless this valve spindle can be reused.

For measuring run-out of the sealing surface C arrange the valve spindle with supporting points at A and B
so that it can be rotated but not shifted in axial direction. Reset the dial gauge to zero at valve spindle
sealing surface C and rotate the valve spindle by one turn. The maximum deflection at the dial gauge must
not exceed the value indicated above.
For measuring run-out of the stem under D arrange the valve spindle with supporting points at A and B so
that it can be rotated. Reset the dial gauge to zero in the middle area of measuring distance L at the valve
stem D and rotate the valve spindle by one turn. The maximum deflection at the dial gauge must not
exceed the value indicated above. If necessary, repeat the measurement at other points within measuring
distance L.
For measuring straightness at D, arrange the valve spindle with supporting points at A and B so as to be
parallel to the base surface (e.g. tracing plate). Reset the dial gauge to zero at one end of measuring
distance L at the top of the valve spindle stem D and move the dial gauge in axial direction along the valve
spindle stem until reaching the other end of measuring distance L. Do not rotate the valve spindle during
this process. The maximum deflection at the dial gauge must not exceed the value indicated above. After
that, rotate the valve spindle by 1/4 turn and repeat the measurement until 4 measuring distances evenly
distributed around the circumference of the valve stem have been covered.

CAUTION
Avoid destroying the nitrided valve stem sealing surface!
Valve spindles with nitrided sealing surface must be neither ground in nor refinished!
When reaching one or several replacement criteria, only the valve seat insert may be
refinished (see A5.05.01.08.02.nn), the valve spindle must in this case be replaced by
a new one.
4.1 Apply a thin and even film of blue paste onto the sealing surface of the valve spindle.
4.2 Insert the oiled valve spindle stem into the valve guide. Fasten the device (Fig. 12/W1) to the
valve spindle head. Carry out the valve spindle and valve seat ring contact area check by rotating
the device in both directions by hand for a short time. There shall be a continuous contact pattern
all around, starting from the outside diameter. After that, thoroughly clean valve spindle and seat
ring.
4.3 Make sure that the combination of valve spindle and valve seat insert is maintained.

NOTE
During regular maintenance of the engine, (e.g. after 15,000 hours), the valve seat rings
should if possible be refinished and the valve stem should be replaced. On non nitrided
valve stems also the valve stem sealing surface may be refinished.
When the sealing surfaces of a non nitrided valve (valve stem/valve seat ring Fig. 1

Do not use any material removing tools or materials.
1.1 Spray coke deposits with clean freshwater. After a short exposure time wipe them off with a

brush.
NOTE
The hardness of the valve seat ring sealing surface is designed in such a manner
that it possesses a certain adaptability with regard to the valve stem sealing surface.
Dents by coke are, therefore, a normal phenomenon and of no concern (Fig. 3). If,
however, the dents by coke should extend over the entire width of the sealing
surface, as shown in Fig. 4, there is a risk of "blow by" and the valve sealing
surfaces must be refinished or the valves must be replaced, as the case may be.

2.1 Valve seat rings are re-usable without refinishing when
• the sealing surface shows a bare metal finish all around, dark discoloration is allowable,
• there is blow-by
ATTENTION
Risk of damage due to a wrong assumption regarding the sealing surface angle!
This note applies to inlet valves of distillate fuel engines (MDO) only.
The inlet valve sealing surfaces of distillate fuel engines (MDO) may have different
sealing surface angles depending on their equipment status (see following tables). If
different angular degrees are indicated for the inlet valves your engine type, check
which sealing surface angle is the correct one for your specific engine before carrying
out any refinishing work or ordering spare parts.
Inlet valves of heavy fuel engines (HFO) always have an angle of 30° 5’ .
ATTENTION
Avoid destroying the nitrided valve stem sealing surface!
It is not allowable to grind in valves with nitrided valve stem sealing surface!
When reaching one or several replacement criteria, only the valve seat ring of a
nitrided valve combination may be refinished, the valve stem has to be replaced by a
new one.
Refinishing has to take place in a professional manner using a special Caterpillar
valve seat refinishing tool (not included in the scope of supply). If the refinishing limit is
reached, the valve seat ring must be replaced. These jobs should be carried out by an
authorized Caterpillar workshop.

NOTE
Crank web deflection is the change in distance between a web pair during one rotation
of the crankshaft (Fig. 1). It is primarily used for measuring and evaluating the align-
ment of an engine with respect to its shafting.
Severe crank web deflection will subject crankshaft and main bearings to additional
load, i.e. the admissible crank web deflection level essentially depends on the engine
load.
Highly loaded engines will allow less crank web deflection than engines subjected to
low load.
Depending on the installation site of the engine, the rigidity of the foundation, and
whether the engine is in warm or cold condition, differing values are obtained. Crank
web deflection should, therefore, always be measured at the same conditions.
Changes that suddenly appear or appear after a longer period under otherwise
unchanged conditions are indicative of deformation or settling phenomena in the foun-
dation.

NOTE
It is, therefore, suggested to collect the measurement sheets extra, because this is the
only way to get a clear picture of the chronological allocation of the measuring values
and their changes.If the limits are reached, the main bearings must be inspected and
the engine must be realigned.

NOTE
In order to get a clear measurement result, crank web deflection is to be measured
on an engine at operating temperature only.

NOTE
It is not possible to instal a small-end bush accurately with conventional means. This
job must be carried out by Caterpillar Kiel or an authorized Caterpillar workshop.
The decisive criteria for assessing the small-end bush are essentially the clearance
limits (see corresponding Table Clearance 1, 2 or 3).
A small-end bush shall only be replaced if:
• A clearance limit has been reached
• A clearance limit will probably be exceeded before the next maintenance
• There is mechanical damage such as severe score marks, crumbling or deep
cavitation pits
• The max. number of operating hours has been reached (see maintenance
schedule)
1.1 Clean the piston pin (1), small-end bush (2), piston bosses (3a and 3b) and measure and record
dimensions A, B, C, D, and X with a suitable measuring tool such as an external micrometer and
an inside micrometer.
1.2 Dimension A has to be measured 20 mm behind the circlip groove on both sides.
1.3 The respective clearances are to be determined from the difference of the following measuring
values:
1.4 When reaching the clearance limits (see Table Clearance 1-3) or if the clearance limit will pro-
bably be exceeded before the next maintenance, the corresponding wear parts must be replaced.

1.11 Striping 03
As a basic rule, there are three degrees of striping formation:
The most important wear criterion is the condition of the honing structure in the area of the striping. If the
honing structure is not destroyed, it can be assumed, based on insights gained to date, that such striping
will not lead to a critical condition and that the affected cylinder liner can remain in the engine. This also
applies in particular if there is a higher amount of stripes of this degree in one cylinder liner.

NOTE
The lead of the pick-up thread can be used as reference for correct adjustment of the
desired clearance.
Example: Thread lead: 1.5 mm; desired clearance: 1.5 mm
One full rotation of the pick-up corresponds to 1.5 mm.
1.9 Carefully screw in the new speed pick-up (3/3) until it contacts the gear.
1.10 Then unscrew the speed pick-up until the required clearance (s) between gear (3/4) and pick-up
surface is obtained.
The standard value is s = 1.5 ±0.5 mm; however, due to factors such as thread lead, necessary
alignment (marking / LED) and end clearance of the camshaft the adjustment value may differ.
The specified pick-up clearances can be found in the engine documentation, chapter 7
“Control and Monitoring” -> “Electrical Engine Equipment”.
CAUTION
Observe the flywheel pick-up clearance for M 46 DF / VM 46 DF!
The pick-up clearance for speed recording at the flywheel for M 46 DF engines must
be adjusted to s = 2.5 +/- 0.1 mm. If the pick-up clearance is not observed, the speed
recording signal may be inverted.
1.11.1 The marking / LED (3/1) must be positioned parallel to the travel path/direction of the respective
gear (see Fig. 3; pay attention to whether installation is axial or radial).
If necessary, unscrew or screw in the speed pick-up (3/3) somewhat more in order to reach the
correct position. In doing so, choose the shorter way. The maximum allowable deviation is +/- 15°.
1.13 Connect the electrical connector (3/5) of the speed pick-up (3/3). In doing so, make sure the plug-
in contact is properly locked (palpable overcoming of the locking, crackling in the connector).

textile sling and carefully lift it off the engine block.
1.7 Put the governor drive casing onto a suitable base and secure it so as to prevent it from shifting.
1.8 Carefully remove the gasket (14) and clean the support surface on the engine block.
2.1 Check the gear flanks of the helical gear wheels (Fig. 2/15 and 16) and the intermediate wheel
(17) for pitting, skewing, crumbling, and unusual signs of wear.
2.2 Check the serration of the governor drive shaft (18) and the governor (Fig. 1/1) for wear and
clean them, if necessary.
2.3 Make sure that all lubricating oil bores for the lubricating oil supply of the governor drive shaft and
the helical gear wheels are free so that proper lubricating oil supply can be ensured.
3.1 Lightly coat new O-rings with Petro Gel Amber and insert them untwisted into the lubricating oil
passage sleeve (Fig. 2/9).
3.2 Insert the lubricating oil passage sleeve (9) into the governor drive casing (12).
CAUTION
Absolutely make sure to use the old gasket (Fig. 2/14) or a gasket with same material
strength to maintain the adjusted backlash!
If the preset backlash is only reached without gasket, the governor drive/engine block
contact surfaces must be coated with “Dirko” sealing compound.

Wear on the pressure control valve parts
In order to minimize wear on the pressure control valve turn the cap (Fig. 16/T8) only in
pressureless state.
4.1 After the dismantling/mounting of the pressure reducing station, it is required to readjust the
’operating pressure of the pressure control valves. In order to do so, the grub screw (Fig. 16/T7)
has to be loosened and the cap (T8) has to be screwed out of the housing with the exception of
the last five turns.
4.2 Adjust a pressure of 30 bar at connection (P). By turning the cap (T8) adjust the operating
pressure at the pressure control valve to 7.5 bar and tighten the grub screw (T7).
4.3 Check the 3/2-way valve for proper function by actuating it. Finally the complete pressure
reducing station has to be tested for leaks.

WARNING
Risk of burns!
• Before carrying out any work on the exhaust manifold it is absolutely required to
check the exhaust gas temperature!
• Allow the exhaust manifold to cool down sufficiently!
CAUTION
• In order to prevent damage to the expansion joints, they must not be subjected to
bending or radial force during removal or installation. A slight prestress (stretching
of approximately 3-5 mm) in axial direction is achieved during installation by bolting/
clamping of the expansion joints into place.
• Insert all bolts with “Rivolta G.W.F.” high-temperature thread paste in order to
prevent sticking due to heat.
• In order to cope with the thermal load characteristics of the exhaust manifold, only
materials meeting these particularly stringent requirements are used for its
fastening. Therefore, use only genuine Caterpillar spare parts.
NOTE
The exhaust pipe after turbocharger must also be checked within the scope of
this inspection. If severe vibrations and noise occur at the turbocharger, the
flange connection of the exhaust pipe after turbocharger must also be
slackened and checked for tensions.

Risk of injury!
The fuel exits the injection nozzle under very high pressure. In case of contact, it may
cause severe injuries or be forced under the skin and lead to blood poisoning.
• Use personal protective equipment.
• Do not reach into the fuel jet.
NOTE
The formation of “trumpets” (i.e. coke deposits) at the nozzles indicates that the fuel
is too warm. Corrosive attacks / erosion, however, are the consequence of
excessively cold fuel.
If necessary, contact your authorized Caterpillar dealer.

NOTE
Proper function of the injection nozzles can only be assessed on the basis of the
behaviour of the exhaust gas temperatures or the smoke emission characteristics.
The fuel injector should only be removed and checked in case of a significant
deviation of the exhaust gas temperature from the respective cylinder value.
With the nozzle tester the behaviour of the nozzle during operation cannot be
reproduced because the flow rate and the attendant pressure build-up cannot be
compared to the real conditions on the engine, i.e. the spray pattern alone is not
indicative of the function of the nozzle.
A drop in nozzle opening pressure after a short period of operation (settling
phenomena of the nozzle spring and needle) is normal

NOTE
The fuel injector should only be disassembled if a check (A5.05.07.08.01.nn) reveals
deficiencies (such as leaks, opening pressure too low, poor spraying).
All parts of the injection system are manufactured with utmost precision in special
workshops. This is the only way to ensure perfect function. For this reason, a repair at
the operator is impossible and the necessary maintenance work should be restricted
to
• Cleaning
• Checking the opening pressure and tightness
• Replacing of wear parts using original parts and replacement elements.
In order to enable a cost-efficient repair, the elements in need of an overhaul should
be shipped as complete units and in a way that excludes any mix-up.

Activities:
CAUTION
Hazard to persons due to leaking operating medium, high pressure and high tempe-
ratures. Failure to comply with these warnings may lead to accidents.
Avoid any unsafe working methods.
Condensate trap weight approx. 13 kg
ATTENTION
Any improper use, intervention in the design and deviation from the design data auto-
matically lead to termination of the warranty. The float-controlled condensate trap is
designed for the discharge of condensate from steam, compressed air and pressure
gas systems. Any other use is not permissible. The manufacturer is not liable for
damage resulting from any other use. The user or operator bears the risk in this case.
This also applies to incorrect assembly, use and maintenance.
NOTE
Due to its gravity, the condensate flows down to the deepest point, i.e. into the
condensate trap housing. A rising condensate level lifts the float and through the float
fork / rotary valve connection the flow cross-section is opened. When the condensate
level drops, the control closes.

Disassembly of lubricating oil/cooling water thermostat,
making a funcional check of thermostatic element
NOTE
The thermostatic elements (Fig. 1/5) are adjusted by the manufacturer to the requi-
red temperature. Modification of the adjustment or repair is impossible. Defective ele-
ments must be exchanged completely.
The cooling line is fully opened and the bypass closed when the set screw (4) flushes
with the surface of the counternut (3).
This setting procedure may only be carried out if the thermostat fails.
With mounting a new thermostat, the set screw (4) must be set to its initial position by
the nut (3).

DANGER
Danger to life due to parts breaking off!
Due to improper handling and / or material failure pressurized components or parts of
components may break off, strongly accelerate and cause severe injuries or even
death!
- Do not bend over pressurized devices.
- During pressure build-up and 15 seconds thereafter a minimum safety distance of
3 m is to be maintained.
- The pressure indicated in Table B (see Appendix) "Stretching Pressure /
Prestretching Pressure" for the respective position must not be exceeded.
WARNING
Risk of injury caused by hydraulic oil leaking under high pressure
For loosening and fixing of the round nuts the studs are stretched by means of
high hydraulic pressure.
If leaks occur due to misuse or improper handling, oil leaking under pressure may
cause severe injuries.
- It is absolutely required to wear personal protective equipment (especially safety
glasses).
- Do not place any parts of the body above the pressurized devices.
- Establish or loosen connections only in depressurized condition.
- In case of injuries immediately see a doctor!

CAUTION
Property damage due to misuse or improper handling.
The use of unsuitable or worn parts and inappropriate application may cause property
damage!
- High-pressure hoses and their protective jackets must not show any damage.
- Do not let any objects fall onto the high-pressure hoses and do not step on hoses
lying on the floor.
- Do not bend the high-pressure hoses sharply.
Observe the following minimum bending radii:
-- up to 2000 bar (29008 psi) at least 150 mm.
-- above 2000 bar (29008 psi) at least 250 mm.
- Replace high-pressure hoses latest after 6 years, even if they do not yet show
any damage.
- Do not subject the hose couplings to any bending stress.

1.9 Put in place a suitable lever between assembly pins (Fig. 5/5) and turn threaded sleeve (3) onto 13
the stud until it reaches end-stop position.
The ring surface of the threaded sleeve (3) must be flush with the bottom surface of the hydraulic
jack (2) or slightly below bottom surface level.
CAUTION
Leaks and stretching errors may occur
Before using a stretching device the basic position of the hydraulic jack (Fig. 5/2)
must be established. Steps 1.1 to 1.9.
If this basic position is not ensured, there is still oil from a previous application in the
pressure chamber of the cylinder. This will increase the prelift of the piston in
the hydraulic jack (2) with each use, which will cause leaks and stretching errors.
If several hydraulic jacks (2) are to be pressurized simultaneously, e.g. when
disassembling or assembling cylinder head studs, the jacks (2) must be connected to
the high-pressure pump (Fig. 4/7) one after the other and set to basic position. Only
after this procedure the hydraulic jacks (2) are to be connected among each other.
Otherwise, there is a risk of the excess oil not being pressed back into the high-
pressure pump (7) but into another hydraulic jack (2).
NOTE
As the hydraulic connection of a hydraulic jack (Fig. 5/2) is provided with a non-return
valve, the oil can only be removed from the pressure chamber when the high-pressure
hose is connected and the valve (Fig. 4/9) on the high-pressure pump (7) is open.

CAUTION
Risk of tear-off due to overstretching the stud threads!
If loosening of the round nuts (Fig. 7/4) is not possible under the specified pressure,
the pressure may be increased by max. 50 bar (725 psi).
If the pressure is increased further, there is a risk of overstretching the stud threads,
which would require the studs to be replaced.
2.6 Slowly open the valve (Fig. 4/9) on the high-pressure pump (7).
2.8 It must still be possible to turn the round nuts (Fig. 7/4) easily by means of the pin (6). If necessa-
ry, build up pressure again and turn the round nuts (4) back by further holes, see steps 2.2 to 2.7.

Damage and malfunctions due to contamination!
Contamination on connections of hydraulic components causes leaks.
There may occur problems when connecting or loosening the connections as well as
malfunctions in the hydraulic system.
Hydraulic connections are to be plugged upon disassembly of the components.
NOTE
When fixing round nuts for crankshaft bearings and balance weights a prestretching
pressure has to be applied. For details please refer to the respective job cards.
3.1 Tighten round nuts (Fig. 9/4) finger tight with pin (6)before assembly of the hydraulic stretching
device.
CAUTION
Risk of tightening errors due to dropping pressure.
When building up the pressure, pause at intervals and observe the pressure gauge.
The pressure that is then reached must remain constant when the high-pressure
pump (Fig. 11/7) is not actuated. If the pressure drops, this will cause tightening
errors.
If necessary, check the lockings of the connections of the high-pressure hoses and
the high-pressure pump (7).

NOTE
For loosening a round nut
(Fig. 10/4) the threaded
sleeve (Fig. 13/3) that was
fastened finger tight has to be
turned back by a distance
specific to the respective case
of application. To avoid
inaccuracies this distance is
mostly adjusted by means of a
feeler gauge (11) between
support ring (1) and contact
surface. In some cases of
application, however, 1
experience has shown that it is
more practical to turn back the
threaded sleeve (3) by a 11
certain number of turns (see
Table A).
This prevents jamming of the
components of the hydraulic 13 Principle representation

CAUTION
Risk of disintegration of the rubber elements due to aggressive media!
Avoid any contact of the rubber elements of the resilient mounting with oil, oily water,
fuel, and other aggressive media, because this would have a detrimental effect on the
service life of the elements.
Contaminated elements should be cleaned with a mild household detergent.
Elements showing damage such as cracks, crumbling or unusually deformed surfaces
must be replaced by new conical mounts.
4. If in cold condition (approx. 20 °C) the central buffer clearance (1/Z) should drop below the limit
indicated in the table, measures must be taken.
In such a case, contact your authorized Caterpillar dealer.

5. Another indicator of the condition of the resilient mounting is the TB dimension (Top Bottom di- 13
mension).
6. Measure the TB dimension (1/Y) in the area of the machined surfaces at all four corners of each
resilient mounting. Form a mean value each time from the measured values.
7. If in cold condition (approx. 20 °C) the TB mean value should drop below the limit indicated in the
table, measures must be taken.
In such a case, contact your authorized Caterpillar dealer.
