Engine Oil Pressure

Illustration 1 g00295187

Follow all of the steps in this procedure to obtain a usable oil pressure reading.
1. Be sure that the engine is filled to the correct level with SAE 10W-30 oil. The engine oil pressure graph will
not be accurate if incorrect viscosity oil is used.
2. Remove the oil pressure switch. Connect the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group to the main oil manifold. Use
the connection at the oil pressure switch location (1) .
3. Run the engine. Allow the engine oil temperature to rise to 99°C (210°F).
Note: A 3°C (5°F) increase in engine oil temperature gives a 7 kPa (1 psi) decrease in engine oil pressure.
Note: Make sure that the engine oil does not rise above a temperature of 115°C (239°F).
4. Keep the engine oil temperature consistent with the engine at the engine's rated rpm and read the pressure
gauge.
5. Use the engine rpm and the oil pressure to locate an intersection on the engine oil pressure graph.

Illustration 2 g00292588
6. The results should fall within the acceptable area of the graph. If the results are not acceptable, find the cause
of the problem and correct the problem. Engine failure or a reduction in engine life can be the result of
continued operation with oil pressure that is outside of the acceptable range.
Note: Keep a record of engine oil pressure at regular intervals. The records can indicate possible engine
problems or damage. A sudden increase or a sudden decrease of 70 kPa (10 psi) in oil pressure should be
inspected, even within the acceptable range of the engine oil pressure graph.

regulating valve (8) Check valve (9) Primary fuel filter (if equipped) (10) Pressure relief valve (11) Fuel tank

Fuel from fuel tank (11) is pulled through an in-line screen (1) by fuel transfer pump (3). The fuel
transfer pump is integral with the governor. Fuel is sent from the fuel transfer pump through the
pressure relief valve (10). The pressure relief valve is closed in normal operation. Fuel will enter
through fuel filter (9) to a drilled passage in the cylinder head (6). Once the pressure of the fuel is
greater than the desired range then the pressure relief valve will open. This will allow the fuel to return
to the tank. The drilled passage in the cylinder head intersects a gallery around each unit injector in
order to provide a continuous flow of fuel to all injectors.
When there is air on the inlet side of the fuel system, fuel priming pump (A) (if equipped) may be used
in order to fill the fuel filter and the fuel gallery that is in the cylinder head. This is performed before
the engine is started. When the priming pump is used, check valves that are located in the fuel priming
pump control the movement of the fuel. The fuel is forced through the low pressure side of the fuel
system. This removes air from the fuel lines and components back into the fuel tank.

The fuel transfer pump is located in the front housing of the governor. The pump is activated by
camshaft (8) that is attached to the shaft of the governor drive gear. Piston assembly (4) and tappet
assembly (7) are stroked up and down by the camshaft and spring (3) .
Fuel enters the transfer pump through screen (1) (if equipped) and inlet check valve (2). On the
upstroke of piston assembly (4), check valve (2) closes. Outlet check valve (5) closes in order to
prevent fuel from being pulled back in the pump from the outlet. As pressure increases above piston
assembly (4), piston check valve (6) opens in order to fill the cavity above the piston assembly.
On the downstroke, as the fuel pressure in passage (9) increases, piston check valve (6) is closed and
outlet check valve (5) is opened. This causes fuel to be pushed through the secondary fuel filter and to
the engine. Inlet check valve (2) opens in order to allow fuel to fill the cavity above piston assembly
(4) .
During engine shutdown, the check valves are held closed by springs.

The fuel injection pump (unit injector) allows a small amount of fuel to be injected at the proper time
into the combustion chamber. The fuel that is supplied to fuel gallery (10) surrounds each unit injector.
Each of these galleries are connected by a drilled passage in the cylinder head. This passage provides a
continuous flow of fuel to all unit injectors.
The unit injector is isolated from the coolant passages by sleeve (11). The sleeve also provides the
seating surface for the unit injector.
Injection timing is determined by the angular location of camshaft (14) and the vertical location of
plunger (6) in barrel (9). The camshaft gear and the crankshaft gear mesh together at the front of the
engine in order to achieve the angular location of the camshaft. The location of the plunger (fuel
timing) is adjusted by setscrew (2) .
The profile of the camshaft is sent to rocker arm (1) by lifter (13) and pushrod (5), as the camshaft
rotates. The motion of rocker arm (1) is then sent to plunger (6) through the floating button (3).

At the top of the plunger's stroke, fuel from fuel gallery (10) enters the unit injector around the edges of
sleeve filter (16). The fuel then fills the volume below plunger (6) .
During the plunger's downward motion, fuel beneath the plunger is displaced into the gallery through
the two ports in barrel (9). As upper port (19) is closed by the bottom edge of the plunger, fuel
continues to be displaced through lower port (18). When the lower port is closed, effective stroke
begins. The fuel inside the unit injector becomes pressurized by the continued downward movement of
the plunger. When the fuel pressure is sufficient to open check (21), high pressure fuel will be forced
through orifices at the bottom of the nozzle into the combustion chamber. This will continue until
upper port (19) is uncovered by helix (17) on the plunger. At this instant, effective stroke ends and this
high pressure fuel will spill through upper port (19) into the gallery. This will allow spring (20) to close
check (21), which will end the injection cycle.
The downward motion of the plunger will continue until lifter (13) reaches the nose of the camshaft.
The plunger will be returned upward by tappet spring (4). This will allow the cavity under the plunger
to be refilled from the fuel in the gallery. The unit injector is now ready for the next cycle.
In addition to vertical motion, the plunger can rotate with respect to barrel (9) by gear (15). The gear
slides in order to allow vertical movement of the plunger and the gear meshes with rack (7). The
rotation of the gear changes the relationship between helix (17) and upper port (19). The amount of fuel
that is injected into each combustion chamber then changes. For example, if rack (7) is moved to the
right, then plunger (6) will rotate CCW. (This movement is viewed from the top.) The distance between
the bottom end of the plunger and helix (17) then increases with respect to upper port (19). The
effective stroke is increased and more fuel is injected into the combustion chamber.

The rack control linkage connects the governor output to unit injector (11) at each cylinder. The
governor output shaft is pinned to link (9). The link is connected to lever assembly (10). When the
governor demands more fuel, link (9) and lever assembly (10) cause rotation of shaft (3) and clamps
(6). Shaft (3) and clamps (6) are rotated in a FUEL ON (A) direction. Each clamp then pushes lever (1)
as the shaft rotates. Rack (4) is pulled by lever (1). This will allow more fuel to be injected into the
cylinder.
When the governor requires less fuel, link (9) causes rotation of shaft (3) and clamps (6). Shaft (3) and
clamps (6) are rotated in a FUEL OFF (B) direction. Lever (1) is forced to rotate clockwise by torsion
spring (2). This will push rack (4) toward the shutoff position. A torsion spring is located at each unit
injector. This allows the rack control linkage to go to the shutoff position, even if one fuel injector rack
is stuck open.
The power setting of the unit injector for the No. 1 cylinder is made with fuel setting screw (8) in
clamp assembly (7). As fuel setting screw (8) is turned, shaft (3) rotates to a new position with respect

002 : Systems Operation


131
to link (9) and lever assembly (10). Adjusting screws (8) allow synchronization of the injectors to the
unit injector of the No. 1 cylinder.

Governor
The governor transfers the operator's requirements to the fuel injector rack control linkage. The
governor receives the desired engine speed by the position of the throttle. The governor output shaft
immediately moves when the throttle is moved. The motion of the governor output shaft will cause the
fuel injector rack control linkage to rotate. This will move the fuel injector racks. The change in the
position of the fuel injector rack will cause a change in the speed of the engine. As the speed of the
engine changes, the governor will adjust the amount of fuel that is delivered. This will cause the engine
to stabilize at the rpm that corresponds to the throttle position. For further information, refer to,
SENR6454, " 3114, 3116, and 3126 Governor Service Manual".

Fuel Ratio Control

The turbocharged engine uses a fuel ratio control (FRC) in order to control smoke during acceleration
at low boost levels. The FRC restricts the amount of fuel to the combustion chambers until sufficient
boost has been achieved.

Illustration 9 g00691999
Governor Linkage and Fuel Ratio Control Schematic, (A) FUEL ON output (B) FUEL ON input from operator (1)
Governor output shaft (2) Inlet port (3) Fuel ratio control (FRC) (4) Retainer shaft (5) FRC lever (6) Limit lever setscrew
(7) FRC lever setscrew (8) Limit lever

Fuel ratio control (FRC) (3) operates on boost air pressure that is delivered by a tube from the inlet
manifold of the engine to inlet port (2). At low boost, retainer shaft (4) is held stationary by springs that
are inside the FRC. When the operator demands more fuel, governor output shaft (1) moves in the
FUEL ON direction (A). The governor output shaft will move in this direction until limit lever (8)
contacts setscrew (7) of FRC lever (5). When FRC lever (5) is restrained from rotating clockwise or
FUEL ON movement by the FRC, further FUEL ON movement of governor output shaft (1) is stopped.
Thus, overfueling is prevented.
As engine power increases, boost pressure also increases. This pressure acts against a diaphragm inside
the FRC. When boost pressure is sufficient, spring force inside the FRC is overcome and retainer shaft
(4) moves to the right. This movement will allow FRC lever (5) and limit lever (8) to rotate clockwise.
Governor output shaft (1) is now able to move in the FUEL ON direction until the limit lever (8)
contacts limit lever setscrew (6) .
When boost pressure decreases, springs inside fuel ratio control (FRC) (3) will return retainer shaft (4)
to the normal position. FUEL ON movement of governor output shaft (1) is again restricted.

Fuel Shutoff Solenoid

Illustration 10 g00825990
, (1) Button (2) Fuel Shutoff Solenoid

The fuel shutoff mechanism is activated by an energize-to-run (ETR) latching solenoid. A spring
loaded plunger inside the solenoid acts on a lever assembly within the front housing of the governor.
This lever assembly pushes the governor output shaft to the FUEL OFF position when the plunger is
released electrically or the plunger is released manually at engine shutdown. At engine start-up, the
solenoid is energized in order to latch in the run position. The governor output shaft is then free to
move to the FUEL ON position.
Engines that are equipped with a latching solenoid can be manually shut off by pushing button (1)
inward. The solenoid CANNOT be manually latched in the run position in order to start the engine.

(4) Exhaust outlet (5) Turbocharger (6) Air inlet (7) Air cleaner

The components of the air inlet and exhaust system control the quality of the air that is available for
combustion. These components also control the amount of the air that is available for combustion. The
components of the air inlet and exhaust system are listed below:
¡ Air cleaner
¡ Turbocharger
¡ Aftercooler (aftercooled engines)
¡ Cylinder head
¡ Valves and valve system components
¡ Piston and cylinder
¡ Exhaust manifold

Illustration 2 g00693191
Air Inlet And Exhaust System, (1) Aftercooler (aftercooled engines) (3) Exhaust manifold (4) Exhaust outlet (6) Air inlet
(8) Exhaust valve (9) Inlet valve (10) Compressor wheel (11) Turbine wheel

Inlet air is pulled through air cleaner (7). The inlet air is then compressed and heated by the compressor
wheel of turbocharger (5) to about 150°C (300°F). The inlet air is then pushed through one of the
following components: air-to-air aftercooled (ATAAC), jacket water aftercooled (JWAC) and air inlet
cover. The inlet air is forced to air inlet manifold (2). The temperature of the inlet air at the air inlet
manifold is about 43°C (110°F). Cooling of the inlet air increases the combustion efficiency. Increased
combustion efficiency helps to lower fuel consumption. Also, increased combustion efficiency helps to
increase horsepower output.
The air to air aftercooled (ATAAC) system incorporates a separate air to air aftercooler core. This core
is installed in front of the radiator of the engine or the core is installed beside the radiator of the engine.
Air that is ambient temperature is moved across the aftercooler core by the engine fan and by the ram
effect of the vehicle's forward motion. This cools the turbocharged inlet air.
The jacket water aftercooled (JWAC) system uses engine coolant from the water pump in order to cool
003 : Systems Operation
134
the hot turbocharged air. The JWAC system incorporates a water-to-air system that is mounted to the
air inlet manifold.
Inlet manifold (2) is a one-piece casting that also serves as a base for the valve cover. From the inlet
manifold, the air is forced into the cylinder head in order to fill the inlet ports. Air flow from the inlet
port into the cylinder is controlled by the inlet valves.
There is one inlet valve (9) and one exhaust valve (8) for each cylinder. The inlet valve opens when the
piston moves down on the inlet stroke. When the inlet valve opens, cooled compressed air from the
inlet port is pulled into the cylinder. The inlet valve closes and the piston begins to move up on the
compression stroke. The air in the cylinder is compressed. When the piston is near the top of the
compression stroke, fuel is injected into the cylinder. The fuel mixes with the air and combustion starts.
During the power stroke, the combustion force pushes the piston downward. After the power stroke is
complete, the piston moves upward. This upward movement is the exhaust stroke. During the exhaust
stroke, the exhaust valve opens, and the exhaust gases are pushed through the exhaust port into exhaust
manifold (3). After the piston completes the exhaust stroke, the exhaust valve closes and the cycle
starts again. The complete cycle consists of four stages:
¡ inlet stroke
¡ compression stroke
¡ power stroke
¡ exhaust stroke

Exhaust gases from exhaust manifold (3) enter turbine side of turbocharger (5) in order to turn the
turbine wheel (11). The turbine wheel is connected to a shaft which drives the compressor wheel (10).
Exhaust gases from the turbocharger pass through the exhaust outlet pipe, the muffler and the exhaust
stack.

Turbocharger

Turbocharger, (1) Air inlet (2) Compressor housing (3) Compressor wheel (4) Bearing (5) Oil Inlet port (6) Bearing (7)
Turbine housing (8) Turbine wheel (9) Exhaust outlet (10) Oil outlet port (11) Exhaust inlet

The turbocharger is installed on the center section of the exhaust manifold. All the exhaust gases from
the engine go through the turbocharger. The compressor side of the turbocharger is connected to the
aftercooler by pipe.
The exhaust gases go into turbine housing (7) through exhaust inlet (11). The exhaust gases then push
the blades of turbine wheel (8). The turbine wheel is connected by a shaft to compressor wheel (3) .
Clean air from the air cleaners is pulled through compressor housing air inlet (1) by the rotation of
compressor wheel (3). The action of the compressor wheel blades causes a compression of the inlet air.
This compression gives the engine more power by allowing the engine to burn more air and more fuel
during combustion.
When the load on the engine increases, more fuel is injected into the cylinders. The combustion of this

003 : Systems Operation


135
additional fuel produces more exhaust gases. The additional exhaust gases cause the turbine and the
compressor wheels of the turbocharger to turn faster. As the compressor wheel turns faster, more air is
forced into the cylinders. The increased flow of air gives the engine more power by allowing the engine
to burn the additional fuel with greater efficiency.

Illustration 4 g00425163
Turbocharger With Waste Gate, (12) Actuating lever (13) Canister (14) Line (boost pressure)

When the engine is operating under conditions of low boost, a spring pushes on a diaphragm in canister
(13). This action moves actuating lever (12) in order to close the valve of the waste gate. Closing the
valve of the waste gate allows the turbocharger to operate at maximum performance.
As the boost pressure through line (14) increases against the diaphragm in canister (13), the valve of
the wastegate is opened. When the valve of the wastegate is opened, the rpm of the turbocharger is
limited by bypassing a portion of the exhaust gases. The exhaust gases are routed through the wastegate
which bypasses the turbine wheel of the turbocharger.
Note: The turbocharger with a waste gate is preset at the factory and no adjustment can be made.

Turbocharger Oil Lines, (15) Oil supply tube (16) Oil drain tube

Bearings (4) and (6) for the turbocharger use engine oil under pressure for lubrication. The oil comes in
through oil supply tube (15) to oil inlet port (5). The oil then goes through passages in the center
section in order to lubricate the bearings. Oil from the turbocharger goes out through oil outlet port (10)
in the bottom of the center section. The oil then goes back to the engine lubrication system through oil
drain tube (16).

Valve System Components

Valve System Components, (1) Rocker arm (2) Spring (3) Valve (4) Pushrod (5) Lifter (6) Camshaft lobe

The valve system components control the flow of inlet air into the cylinders during engine operation.
The valve system components also control the flow of exhaust gases out of the cylinders during engine
operation.
The crankshaft gear drives the camshaft gear through an idler gear. The camshaft must be timed to the
crankshaft in order to get the correct relation between the piston movement and the valve movement.
The camshaft has three camshaft lobes for each cylinder. The lobes operate the following components:
the inlet valves, the exhaust valves and the mechanical unit injector (MUI). As the camshaft turns,
lobes on the camshaft cause lifters (5) to move pushrods (4) up and down. Upward movement of the
pushrods against rocker arms (1) results in downward movement (opening) of valves (3) .
Each cylinder has one inlet valve and one exhaust valve. Valve springs (2) close the valves when the
lifters move down.

Air Inlet Heater (If Equipped)


The engines may be equipped with an electric heater that is located at the air inlet manifold. The
electric heater has two functions:
¡ aid in starting
¡ aid in white smoke cleanup during start-up

Under the proper conditions, an Electronic Control will turn on the system for the electric heater (if
equipped). The following conditions are evaluated prior to activating the electric heater:
¡ jacket water coolant temperature
¡ oil pressure
¡ ignition switch position
¡ duration of time

Some of the air inlet heaters will have manual controls, while other air inlet heaters will have automatic
controls. The system is capable of delivering heat for 30 seconds prior to start-up and during cranking
of the engine. After the engine has started, the system is capable of delivering heat constantly for
several minutes. This will depend on the control system that is used.
If the air inlet heater malfunctions, the engine will still start and the engine will still run. There may be
a concern regarding the amount of white smoke that is present. Also, there may be a concern regarding
the need for an alternative starting aid.

Engine oil pump (22) is mounted to the bottom of the cylinder block inside the engine oil pan (20). The
engine oil pump pulls oil from engine oil pan. The engine oil is then pushed through passage (16) to the
engine oil cooler (19). Oil then flows through engine oil filter (18). The filtered oil then enters the
turbocharger oil supply line (13) and main oil gallery (8).

bearing (6). Oil from the main oil gallery exits the front of the block. The oil then enters passage (10)
that is cast in the front housing.
The front housing passage sends the oil flow in two directions. At the upper end of the passage (10), oil
is directed back into the block and up to cylinder head gallery (3). At the lower end of the passage (10),
oil enters passage (14). This passage will send oil to the oil pump idler gear bearing on the 4 cylinder
engine and the 6 cylinder engines, and to the bearing for the front bearing for the balancer shaft on the
4 cylinder engine.
Oil from the main oil gallery is forced through passages to the crankshaft main bearings. Oil enters the
holes in the bearing surfaces (journals) for the main bearing (11). Oil from the front main bearing
enters passage (12) in order to lubricate the camshaft idler gear bearing. Oil passages in the crankshaft
send oil from all the main bearings (11) through the connecting rods to the connecting rod bearings.
Passages connect the bearing surface (journal) for the main bearing with the bearing surface (journal)
for the connecting rod.
On the 4 cylinder engine, some of the oil that goes to the rear main bearing is directed out of the rear
face of the cylinder block to passage (7) in the crankshaft seal carrier. Oil is then directed into passage
(9) in the cylinder block. Oil is supplied to the rear support for the balancer unit in order to lubricate the
rear bearings of the balancer unit. A passage in the balancer shafts now carries the oil from the rear
balancer shaft bearings to the intermediate bearings of the shafts.

Left Side View Of Engine, (1) Governor oil supply line (24) Crankcase breather (25) Location of oil passage for pushrod
lifters inside side covers (26) Hose (27) Plug

Passages (5) send oil from the camshaft bearing (6) to a short oil passage (25) in the side covers. The
oil then enters a hole in the shafts of the pushrod lifters in order to lubricate the roller bearings of the
lifter.
Cylinder head oil gallery (3) provides flow to governor oil supply line (1) and the rocker arm supports.
Holes in the rocker arm supports allow lubrication of the valve and injector components.
After the lubrication oil's work is done, the lubrication oil returns to the engine oil pan.
The oil pump bypass valve (21) limits the pressure of the oil that is coming from the engine oil pump
(22). The engine oil pump can pump more than enough oil into the system. When there is more than
enough oil, the oil pressure increases. When the oil pressure increases, the oil pump bypass valve will
open. This allows the oil that is not needed to go back to the suction side of the engine oil pump.
The bypass valves (15) and (17) will open when the engine is cold (starting conditions). Opening the
bypass valves achieves immediate lubrication of all components. Immediate lubrication is critical when
cold oil with high viscosity causes a restriction to the oil flow through engine oil cooler (19) and engine
oil filter (18). The engine oil pump (22) sends the cold oil through the bypass valves around the engine
oil cooler and the engine oil filter to the turbocharger oil supply line (13) and the main oil gallery (8) in
the cylinder block.
When the oil gets warm, the pressure difference in the bypass valves decreases and the bypass valves
close. After the bypass valves close, there is a normal flow of oil through the engine oil cooler and the
engine oil filter.
The bypass valves will also open when there is a restriction in the engine oil cooler (19) or engine oil
filter (18). This design allows the engine to be lubricated even though the engine oil cooler or the
engine oil filter are restricted.
Crankcase breather (24) allows engine blowby to escape from the crankcase. The engine blowby is
discharged through hose (26) into the atmosphere. This prevents pressure from building up that could
cause seals or gaskets to leak.
Oil pressure to the camshaft and the main bearings should be checked at oil gallery plug (27). This plug
is located on the left side of the cylinder block.

Water pump (6) is located on the right front side of cylinder block (4). The water pump is belt driven
from the crankshaft pulley. Coolant from the bottom of radiator (7) is pulled into the bottom inlet of the
water pump by the impeller rotation. The rotation of the impeller in the water pump forces the coolant
through the cooling system. The coolant exits the back of the water pump directly into the oil cooler
cavity of the cylinder block.
All of the coolant passes through the core of oil cooler (5) and the coolant then enters the internal water
manifold of cylinder block (4). This manifold distributes the coolant to water jackets that are around
the cylinder walls.

From the cylinder block, the coolant flows into passages that are in cylinder head (1). These passages
send the flow of coolant around the following items:
¡ Unit injector sleeves
¡ Inlet passages
¡ Exhaust passages

The coolant now enters water temperature regulator housing (2) at the front right side of cylinder block
(4) .
Water temperature regulator (9) controls the direction of flow. If the temperature of the coolant is
below normal, then the water temperature regulator is closed. The coolant is directed through bypass
hose (3) and into the top inlet of water pump (6). When the coolant gets to the correct temperature, the
water temperature regulator will open. Most of the coolant goes through outlet (8) to the radiator for
cooling. The remainder flows through the bypass hose and into the water pump.
Note: Water temperature regulator (9) is an important part of the cooling system. The water
temperature regulator divides the coolant flow between the radiator and the bypass in order to maintain
the proper temperature. If the water temperature regulator is not installed in the system, then there is no
mechanical control, and most of the coolant will take the path of least resistance through the bypass.
This will cause the engine to overheat in hot weather. Any amount of coolant that flows through the
radiator can be too much in cold weather. This will cause the engine not to reach normal operating
temperatures.

This engine has a pressure type cooling system that is equipped with a shunt line.
A pressure type cooling system offers two advantages:
¡ The cooling system can operate safely at a temperature that is higher than the normal boiling
point of water.
¡ The cooling system prevents cavitation in the water pump.

Cavitation is the sudden formation of low pressure bubbles in liquids by mechanical forces. The
formation of air or steam pockets is more difficult within a pressure type cooling system.
The shunt line prevents cavitation by the water pump. The shunt line provides a constant flow of
coolant to the water pump.

Coolant Flow Circuit


The water pump is located on the side of the cylinder block. The water pump is belt driven from the
crankshaft pulley.Coolant from the heat exchanger is pulled into the bottom inlet of the water pump by
impeller rotation. The coolant exits the pump directly into the oil cooler cavity.The coolant enters the
internal water manifold of the cylinder block. The manifold disperses the coolant to water jackets
around the cylinder walls.The coolant from the rear of the cylinder block supplies the exhaust manifold
and the turbocharger.The coolant then flows into passages in the cylinder head. The passages send the
flow around the unit injector sleeves and the inlet and the exhaust passages.The coolant exits the
cylinder head and combines with the flow of coolant from the exhaust manifold before entering the
regulator. The coolant then flows through a deaerator in order to purge excess air to the expansion tank.
Air vents are provided on the water outlet of the turbocharger and at the rear of the cylinder head. The
air vents allow the cooling system to fill with coolant. The air vents also remove the air from the
cooling system.Note: The water temperature regulator controls the direction of flow. When the coolant
temperature is below the normal operating temperature, the water temperature regulator is closed. The
coolant is directed from the cylinder head to the inlet of the water pump. When the coolant temperature
reaches the normal operating temperature, the water temperature regulator opens. Coolant then travels
to the heat exchanger for cooling.Note: The water temperature regulator is an important part of the
cooling system. The water temperature regulator divides coolant flow between the heat exchanger and
the bypass in order to maintain the normal operating temperature. If the water temperature regulator is
not installed in the system, there is no mechanical control, and most of the coolant will travel the path
of least resistance through the bypass. This will cause the engine to overheat in hot weather and the
engine will not reach normal operating temperature in cold weather.The shunt line extends from the top
of the water pump to the expansion tank. The shunt line must be routed properly in order to avoid
trapping any air. By providing a constant flow of coolant to the water pump, the shunt line prevents the
water pump from cavitating.

Basic Engine
Cylinder Block and Head
The cylinder block for the four cylinder engine has five main bearings that support the crankshaft. The
cylinder block for the six cylinder engine has seven main bearings that support the crankshaft. The
main bearing caps are fastened to the cylinder block with two bolts per cap.The removal of the oil pan
allows access to the following components:
¡ Crankshaft
¡ Main bearing caps
¡ Piston cooling jets
¡ Oil pump

The compartment for the camshaft is accessible through covers on the left side of the cylinder block.
These side covers also support the pushrod lifters. The camshaft is supported by bearings that are
pressed into the cylinder block. There are five camshaft bearings for the four cylinder engine and there
are seven camshaft bearings for the six cylinder engine.
The cylinder head is separated from the cylinder block by a gasket that is made of steel and non-
asbestos fiber. Coolant flows out of the cylinder block through gasket openings and into the cylinder
head. The gasket also seals the oil supply and the drain passages between the cylinder head and the
cylinder block. The air inlet ports are located on the top of the cylinder head. The exhaust ports are
located on the right side of the cylinder head. There is one intake and one exhaust valve for each
cylinder. Valve guides are pressed into the cylinder head. The fuel injector is located between the two
valves. Fuel is injected directly into the cylinders at very high pressure. A system with pushrods and
with rocker arms is used in order to control the valves and the fuel injectors.

Pistons, Rings, and Connecting Rods


One-piece aluminum pistons are used in most applications. Engines with higher cylinder pressures
require two-piece pistons. Refer to the parts manual in order to obtain information about the type of
piston that is used in a specific engine.The one-piece aluminum pistons have an iron band for the top
two rings. This helps to reduce wear on the compression ring grooves. Oil from the piston cooling jets
will spray the underside of the piston. This will cool the piston, which improves the life of the piston
and rings. The piston has two compression rings and one oil ring. All of the rings are located above the
piston pin bore. The oil ring is of the standard or conventional type. Oil will return to the crankcase
through holes that are located in the groove for the oil ring. The design of the compression rings is of
the keystone type, which is tapered. The piston groove is also tapered. Too much carbon deposits can
cause seizure of the piston rings. This is prevented by the action of the rings in the piston grooves.The
two-piece piston consists of an alloy steel crown that is connected to an aluminum skirt by the piston
pin. Oil from the piston cooling jets will spray the underside of the piston crown. This will cool the
piston, which improves the life of the piston and the rings. The piston rings are located in grooves in
the piston crown. Oil will return to the crankcase through holes that are located in the groove for the oil
ring.The connecting rod has a taper on the pin bore end which gives the rod and the piston more
strength in the areas with the most load. The cap is fastened to the connecting rod by two bolts. This
design keeps the rod width to a minimum, so that the piston can be removed through the cylinder.

Crankshaft
The crankshaft converts the combustion forces in the cylinders into rotating torque which powers the
equipment. A vibration damper is used on the front of the crankshaft to reduce torsional vibrations
(twist on the crankshaft) that can cause damage to the engine. The crankshaft drives a group of gears
(front gear train) on the front of the engine. The front gear train provides power for the following

006 : Systems Operation


145
components:
¡ Engine oil pump
¡ Camshaft
¡ Governor
¡ Air compressor
¡ Power steering pump

In addition, the front belt pulleys on the crankshaft provide power for following components:
¡ Radiator fan
¡ Water pump
¡ Alternator
¡ Refrigerant compressor

Hydrodynamic seals are used at both ends of the crankshaft to control oil leakage. The hydrodynamic
grooves in the seal lip move lubrication oil back into the crankcase as the crankshaft turns. The front
seal is located in the front housing. The rear seal is installed in the flywheel housing.

Illustration 2 g00698015
Schematic of Oil Passages in a 6 Cylinder Engine, (1) Oil gallery (2) Main bearings (3) Connecting rod bearings

Pressurized oil is supplied to all main bearings through drilled holes in the webs of the cylinder block.
The oil then flows through drilled holes in the crankshaft in order to provide oil to the connecting rod
bearings. The crankshaft is held in position by either five main bearings on the four cylinder engine or
seven main bearings on the six cylinder engines. A thrust main bearing is located next to the rear main
bearing. This type of main bearing is used in order to control the end play of the crankshaft.

Camshaft
The camshaft is located in the upper left side of the cylinder block. The camshaft is driven by an idler
gear that is turned by the crankshaft in the front gear train. Five camshaft bearings support the camshaft
in a four cylinder engine. Seven camshaft bearings support the camshaft in a six cylinder engine. Each
bearing journal is lubricated from the oil manifold in the cylinder block. A thrust pin that is located at
the rear of the block positions the camshaft through a circumferential groove. The groove is machined
at the rear of the camshaft.The camshaft has three lobes at each cylinder that operate the unit injector,

006 : Systems Operation


146
the exhaust valves, and the inlet valves. As the camshaft rotates, each lobe moves a lifter assembly.
Each outside lifter assembly moves a pushrod, which will move either an inlet valve or an exhaust
valve. The center lifter assembly moves a pushrod that operates the fuel injector. The camshaft must be
in time with the crankshaft. Timing is the relationship of the camshaft lobes to the crankshaft position,
which will cause the valves and the fuel injector in each cylinder to operate at the correct time. Timing
of the camshaft is accomplished by aligning marks on the following components with each
other:crankshaft gear, idler gear and camshaft gear.

Vibration Damper
The force from combustion in the cylinders will cause the crankshaft to twist. This is called torsional
vibration. If the vibration is too great, the crankshaft will be damaged. The vibration damper limits the
torsional vibrations to an acceptable amount in order to prevent damage to the crankshaft.

Balancer shafts (3) run the full length of the cylinder block. The balancer shafts are mounted by the
following items: oil pump housing (5), intermediate support and rear support. The balancer shafts are
driven by crankshaft gear (1) via oil pump idler gear (2) and oil pump drive gear (4). The balancer
shafts are phased and the shafts are timed to the engine by marked teeth on the gears.

Electrical System
Engine Electrical System
The electrical system has two separate circuits.
¡ the charging circuit
¡ the starting circuit

Some of the electrical system components are used in more than one circuit. The following items are
common in each of the circuits:
¡ The battery
¡ The circuit breaker
¡ The cables
¡ The wires for the battery

The charging circuit is in operation when the engine is running. An alternator makes electricity for the
charging circuit. A voltage regulator in the circuit controls the electrical output in order to keep the
battery at full charge.

NOTICE
The disconnect switch, if so equipped, must be in the ON position to let
the electrical system function. There will be damage to some of the
charging circuit components if the engine runs with the disconnect with
in the OFF position.

If the engine has a disconnect switch, the starting circuit can operate only after the disconnect switch is
put in the "ON" position.
The starting switch is in operation only when the start switch is activated.
The charging circuit is connected through the ammeter. The starting circuit is not connected through
the ammeter.

Charging System Components


The alternator is driven by the crankshaft pulley through a belt that is a Poly-vee type. The alternator is
a three-phase self-rectifying charging unit. The regulator is part of the alternator. The operation of the
brushless alternator and the brush type alternator follow.

NOTICE
Never operate the alternator without the battery in the circuit. Making
or breaking an alternator connection with heavy load on the circuit can
cause damage to the regulator.

Brushless Alternator (Typical Example), (1) Regulator (2) Roller bearing (3) Stator winding (4) Ball bearing (5) Rectifier
bridge (6) Field winding (7) Rotor assembly (8) Fan

This alternator design has no need for slip rings or for brushes. The only part of this alternator that
moves is the rotor assembly. All of the conductors that carry current are stationary. The following
components are the conductors: the field winding, the stator windings, rectifying diodes and
components of the regulator circuit.
The rotor assembly has many magnetic poles that are similar to fingers with air space between each of
the opposite poles. The poles have residual magnetism that produces a small amount of magnet-like
lines of force (magnetic field). This magnetic field is produced between the poles. As the rotor
assembly begins to turn between the field winding and the stator windings, a small amount of
alternating current (AC) is produced in the stator windings. The alternating current is produced from
the small magnetic lines of force that are created by the residual magnetism of the poles. The AC is
changed into direct current (DC) when the current passes through the diodes of the rectifier bridge.
Most of this current provides the battery charge and the supply for the low amperage circuit. The
remainder of the current is sent to the field windings. The DC current flow through the field windings
(wires around an iron core) increases the strength of the magnetic lines of force. These stronger
magnetic lines of force increase the amount of AC that is produced in the stator windings. The
increased speed of the rotor assembly also increases the current output of the alternator and the voltage
output of the alternator.

Brush Type Alternator

Illustration 2 g00698978
Brush Type Alternator (Typical Example), (1) Stator (2) Field coil (rotor) (3) Regulator

This alternator design has a stator (1) that is stationary and a field coil (rotor) (2) that moves. The slip
rings and the brushes are used for supplying excitation current to the rotating field coil.
The brush type alternators can be a battery energized alternator or a self-energizing alternator. The self-
energizing alternators rely on residual magnetism, which is similar to the brushless alternators. The
battery energized alternators have less residual magnetism. These alternators use current from the
batteries for field current in order to produce the magnetic lines of force. When the alternator's voltage
exceeds the battery voltage, the charging system will be self-contained and the battery voltage will not
be needed.
The voltage regulator is a solid-state electronic switch. The voltage regulator senses the voltage of the
007 : Systems Operation
150
system. The regulator then uses switches to control the current to the field windings. This controls the
voltage output in order to meet the electrical demand of the system.

Starting System Components


Solenoid

A solenoid is an electromagnetic switch that performs two basic functions:


¡ The solenoid closes the high current starter motor circuit with a low current start switch circuit.
¡ The solenoid engages the starter motor pinion with the ring gear.

Illustration 3 g00292316
Typical solenoid schematic

The solenoid has windings (one set or two sets) around a hollow cylinder. A plunger with a spring load
device is inside of the cylinder. The plunger can move forward and backward. When the start switch is
closed and electricity is sent through the windings, a magnetic field is created. The magnetic field pulls
the plunger forward in the cylinder. This moves the shift lever in order for the pinion drive gear to
engage with the ring gear. The front end of the plunger then makes contact across the battery and
across the motor terminals of the solenoid. The starter motor then begins to turn the flywheel of the
engine.
When the start switch is opened, current no longer flows through the windings. The spring now returns
the plunger to the original position. At the same time, the spring moves the pinion gear away from the
flywheel.
When two sets of windings in the solenoid are used, the windings are called the hold-in winding and
the pull-in winding. Both of the windings wind around the cylinder for an equal amount of times. The
pull-in winding uses a wire with a larger diameter in order to produce a stronger magnetic field. When
the start switch is closed, part of the current flows from the battery through the hold-in winding. The
remainder of the current flows through the pull-in windings, to the motor terminal, and then to the
ground. When the solenoid is fully activated, the current is shut off through the pull-in windings. Only
the smaller hold-in windings are in operation for the extended period of time that is necessary for the
engine to be started. The solenoid will now take a smaller amount of current from the battery. Heat that
is created by the solenoid will be kept at an acceptable level.

Starter Motor

assembly (7) Armature

007 : Systems Operation


151

The starter motor rotates the engine flywheel at a rate that is fast enough to start the engine.
The starter motor has a solenoid (2). When the start switch is activated, the solenoid will move starter
pinion (4) in order to engage the starter pinion and the ring gear on the engine flywheel. The starter
pinion and the ring gear will engage before the circuit between the battery and the starter motor is
closed by the electric contacts in the solenoid. When the circuit between the battery and the starter
motor is complete, the starter pinion will rotate the engine flywheel. A clutch provides protection for
the starter motor so that the engine cannot turn the starter motor too fast. When the switch is released,
the starter pinion will move away from the ring gear.

Other Components
Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker is a switch that opens the battery circuit if the current in the electrical system is
higher than the rating of the circuit breaker. The metal disc (2) is activated by heat. If the current in the
electrical system gets too high, the metal disc will get hot. This heat causes a distortion of the metal
disc. A circuit breaker that is open can be reset when the metal disc becomes cooler. Push the reset
button (1) in order to close the contact points and reset the circuit breaker.

NOTICE

The magnetic pickup is a permanent magnet generator with a single pole. The magnetic pickup is made
of wire coils (2). The coils go around a permanent magnet pole piece (4) .
As the teeth of the flywheel ring gear (5) cut through the magnetic lines of force (1) around the pickup,
an AC voltage is generated. The frequency of this voltage is directly proportional to engine speed.

Magnetic Switch

A magnetic switch is used for the starter solenoid circuit. The switch electrically operates in the same
manner as the solenoid. The magnetic switch has the function of reducing the low current load that is
on the start switch. The switch also controls the low current to the starting solenoid.

Fuel System - Inspect


Initial Inspection Of The Fuel System
A problem with the components that send fuel to the engine can cause low fuel pressure. This can
decrease engine performance.

(8) Fuel filter
1. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank. Inspect the cap for the fuel tank. Ensure that the vent in the fuel
cap is not filled with dirt.
2. Check all fuel lines for fuel leakage. The fuel lines must be free from restrictions and faulty bends.
Verify that the fuel return line is not collapsed.
3. Clean screen (6) inside the inlet fitting of the fuel transfer pump.
4. Operate the hand priming pump (if equipped). If excessive resistance is felt, inspect the fuel pressure
regulating valve. Make sure that the pressure regulator is installed correctly, and make sure that the
pressure regulator functions correctly.
5. Install a new fuel filter (8) .
6. Cut the old filter open with the 4C-5084 Oil Filter Cutter. Inspect the filter for excess contamination.
Determine the source of the contamination. Make the necessary repairs.
7. Service the primary fuel filter (if equipped).
8. Inspect the orifice that is in tube (1). Check the orifice for restrictions that would inhibit proper
operation.
9. Operate the hand priming pump (if equipped). If uneven resistance is felt, test for air in the fuel.
Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Air in Fuel - Test" for more information.
10. Remove any air that may be in the fuel system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System -
Prime".

Start Up Procedure
Note: Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Starting" in the Operation Section.After
work has been done on the fuel system, consider the following precautions before you start the engine.
Make sure that you use this starting procedure to start the engine only after the fuel system has been
worked on:
1. Disconnect the air inlet system from the turbocharger.

Be careful when placing the steel plate against the opening on the
turbocharger air inlet. To avoid crushed fingers, do not position fingers
between the steel plate and the opening on the turbocharger air inlet.
001 : Testing and Adjusting
154

Due to excessive suction, the plate can be forcefully pulled against the
opening on the turbocharger air inlet.

2. Another person will need to help as a precautionary step. This person should be ready to use the steel
plate to cover the turbocharger air inlet if a problem occurs.
Note: Make sure that the steel plate is large enough to cover the entire turbocharger air inlet.
3. Start the engine.
Immediately place the steel plate against the opening on the turbocharger air inlet, if the engine
operates in one of the following ways:
n The engine runs too fast.
n The engine runs out of control.

Covering the opening will stop the air supply to the engine, so the engine will stop.

Inspection With The Engine Running


Either too much fuel for combustion or not enough fuel for combustion can be the cause of a problem
in the fuel system. Finding the source of the problem can be difficult, especially when you have smoke
that rises from the exhaust. Therefore, work is often done on the fuel system when the problem is really
with some other part of the engine.When noticeable smoke rises from the exhaust, this problem can be
caused by a damaged unit injector. This unusual smoke can also be caused by one or more of the
reasons that follow:
¡ not enough air for good combustion
¡ an overload at high altitude
¡ oil leakage into combustion chamber
¡ altitude
¡ air inlet and exhaust leaks
¡ not enough compression

Note: Refer to Troubleshooting for more information on the fuel system.

Checking The Operation Of Individual Cylinders


Low temperature at an exhaust manifold port is an indication of no fuel to the cylinder. This can
possibly be an indication of an injector with a defect. An extra high temperature at an exhaust manifold
port can be an indication of too much fuel to the cylinder. High temperatures may also be caused by an
injector with a defect. The difference between cylinders should be no more than 70 °C (158 °F).Refer
to Testing And Adjusting, "Exhaust Temperature - Test" for the procedure for checking the
temperatures in the exhaust manifold port.

Air in Fuel - Test

This procedure checks for air in the fuel. This procedure also assists in finding the source of the air.
1. Examine the fuel system for leaks. Ensure that the fuel line fittings are properly tightened. Check the
fuel level in the fuel tank. Air can enter the fuel system on the suction side between the fuel transfer
pump and the fuel tank.
2. Install a 2P-8278 Tube As (SIGHT GAUGE) in the fuel return line. When possible, install the sight
gauge in a straight section of the fuel line that is at least 304.8 mm (12 inches) long. Do not install
the sight gauge near the following devices that create turbulence:
n Elbows
n Relief valves
n Check valves

Observe the fuel flow during engine cranking. Look for air bubbles in the fuel. If there is no fuel in
the sight gauge, prime the fuel system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Fuel System - Prime" for
more information. If the engine starts, check for air in the fuel at varying engine speeds. When
possible, operate the engine under the conditions which have been suspect of air in the fuel.

Illustration 1 g01096678
2P-8278 Tube As (SIGHT GAUGE), (1) A steady stream of small bubbles with a diameter of approximately 1.60 mm
(0.063 inch) is an acceptable amount of air in the fuel. (2) Bubbles with a diameter of approximately 6.35 mm (0.250
inch) are also acceptable if there is two seconds to three seconds intervals between bubbles. (3) Excessive air bubbles in
the fuel are not acceptable.
3. If excessive air is seen in the sight gauge in the fuel return line, install a second sight gauge at the
inlet to the fuel transfer pump. If a second sight gauge is not available, move the sight gauge from
the fuel return line and install the sight gauge at the inlet to the fuel transfer pump. Observe the fuel
flow during engine cranking. Look for air bubbles in the fuel. If the engine starts, check for air in the
fuel at varying engine speeds.
If excessive air is not seen at the inlet to the fuel transfer pump, the air is entering the system after
the fuel transfer pump. Proceed to Step 6.
If excessive air is seen at the inlet to the fuel transfer pump, air is entering through the suction side of
the fuel system.

To avoid personal injury, always wear eye and face protection when
using pressurized air.

002 : Testing and Adjusting


156

NOTICE
To avoid damage, do not use more than 55 kPa (8 psi) to pressurize the
fuel tank.

4. Pressurize the fuel tank to 35 kPa (5 psi). Do not use more than 55 kPa (8 psi) in order to avoid
damage to the fuel tank. Check for leaks in the fuel lines between the fuel tank and the fuel transfer
pump. Repair any leaks that are found. Check the fuel pressure in order to ensure that the fuel
transfer pump is operating properly. For information about checking the fuel pressure, see Testing
and Adjusting, "Fuel System Pressure - Test".
5. If the source of the air is not found, disconnect the supply line from the fuel tank and connect an
external fuel supply to the inlet of the fuel transfer pump. If this corrects the problem, repair the fuel
tank or the stand pipe in the fuel tank.
6. If the injector sleeve is worn or damaged, combustion gases may be leaking into the fuel system.
Also, if the O-rings on the injector sleeves are worn, missing, or damaged, combustion gases may
leak into the fuel system.

Fuel Quality - Test

This test checks for problems regarding fuel quality. Refer to Diesel Fuels and Your Engine,
SEBD0717 for additional details.
Use the following procedure to test for problems regarding fuel quality:
1. Determine if water and/or contaminants are present in the fuel. Check the water separator (if
equipped). If a water separator is not present, proceed to Step 2. Drain the water separator, if
necessary. A full fuel tank minimizes the potential for overnight condensation.
Note: A water separator can appear to be full of fuel when the water separator is actually full of
water.
2. Determine if contaminants are present in the fuel. Remove a sample of fuel from the bottom of the
fuel tank. Visually inspect the fuel sample for contaminants. The color of the fuel is not necessarily
an indication of fuel quality. However, fuel that is black, brown, and/or similar to sludge can be an
indication of the growth of bacteria or oil contamination. In cold temperatures, cloudy fuel indicates
that the fuel may not be suitable for operating conditions. The following methods can be used to
prevent wax from clogging the fuel filter:
n Fuel heaters
n Blending fuel with additives
n Utilizing fuel with a low cloud point such as kerosene

Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU6251, "Caterpillar Commercial Diesel Engine
Fluids Recommendations", "Fuel Recommendations" for more information.
3. Check fuel API with a 9U-7840 Fluid and Fuel Calibration Gp for low power complaints. The
acceptable range of the fuel API is 30 to 45 when the API is measured at 15 °C (60 °F), but there is a
significant difference in energy within this range. Refer to Tool Operating Manual, NEHS0607 for
API correction factors when a low power problem is present and API is high.
Note: A correction factor that is greater than "1" may be the cause of low power and/or poor fuel
consumption.
4. If fuel quality is still suspected as a possible cause to problems regarding engine performance,
disconnect the fuel inlet line, and temporarily operate the engine from a separate source of fuel that is
known to be good. This will determine if the problem is caused by fuel quality. If fuel quality is
determined to be the problem, drain the fuel system and replace the fuel filters. Engine performance
can be affected by the following characteristics:
n Cetane number of the fuel
n Air in the fuel
n Other fuel characteristics

Part Number Part Name QTY
128-8822 (1) Fuel System and Governor Tool Gp 1
(1) This Tool Group replaces the former 1U-6680 Fuel System and Governor Tool Gp .

This is an on engine test that is used to determine if the Fuel Ratio Control (FRC) is set properly. If the
FRC is set properly, no additional procedures will be required. If the FRC is set incorrectly, the
governor must be removed and the governor must be adjusted. The governor is adjusted according to
the procedures that are covered in Service Manual, SENR6454, " 3114, 3116, and 3126 Engine
Governors".
To determine the Fuel Ratio Control setting, complete the following steps:
1. Install the 128-8822 Fuel System and Governor Tool Gp. Refer to Systems Operation Testing and
Adjusting, "Unit Injector - Adjust" for the instructions on the installation of the 128-8822 Fuel
System and Governor Tool Gp .
Note: A digital indicator is recommended for the following test procedures.

Illustration 1 g00700472
Typical Governor, (1) Fuel Ratio Control (FRC) (2) Port (boost line) (3) Low idle screw (4) High idle screw
2. Disconnect the boost line from port (2) for the boost line. Apply air to the port, once the boost line is
disconnected.
Note: A regulated air supply of 140 to 210 kPa (20 to 30 psi) MUST be used in order to avoid
damage to the FRC.
3. While the engine is operating at low idle, quickly actuate the throttle to the high idle position.
4. Record the maximum reading that is observed on the digital indicator as the engine's speed increases
to high idle. This reading is the dynamic maximum fuel setting value. Repeat the procedure several
times and average the values.
Note: Static engine rack values and dynamic engine rack values may vary due to the following
items: the method of fuel setting calibration and the differences in governor settings. When the "on
engine" fuel setting is adjusted statically, a calibration pin is used as the reference dimension to the
governor. This pin is used on all engines regardless of governor settings. This common calibration
point and the different settings in the governor will cause the static engine rack values and dynamic
engine rack values to differ. This difference depends on the part number of the governor since the
load stop setting can have an adjustment between 9.0 mm (0.35 inch) and 10.4 mm (0.41 inch).
When the pin is in place, the governor travel is restricted. When the pin is removed and the engine is
running, the governor is unrestricted. This procedure allows a higher dynamic engine rack value. this
value is higher than one that can be obtained statically with the calibration pin in place.
5. Disconnect the air pressure from the FRC and vent the FRC to the atmosphere.
6. While the engine is operating at low idle, quickly actuate the throttle to the high idle position.
7. Record the maximum reading that is observed on the digital indicator as the engine's speed increases

006 : Testing and Adjusting


162
to high idle. This reading is the dynamic maximum fuel setting value. Repeat the procedure several
times and average the values.
8. Subtract the FRC setting value that was obtained in Step 7 from the dynamic maximum fuel setting
value that was obtained in Step 4. This difference is the "on engine" FRC delta.
9. Use the following calculation in order to determine the governor's FRC delta. Subtract the
specification for the FUEL RATIO CONTROL from the specification for the LOAD STOP. This
difference is the governor's FRC delta.
Note: Refer to Technical Marketing Information (TMI)"Governor Bench Performance Data" for the
correct specifications for the FUEL RATIO CONTROL and the LOAD STOP.
10. If the on engine FRC delta is within ± .20 mm ( ± 0.008 inch) of the specifications for the governor's
FRC delta, then the FRC is set properly.
11. If the on engine FRC delta is out of tolerance, the governor will need to be removed from the engine
and the governor will need to be set to specifications. Use the 1U-7326 Governor Calibration Bench
in order to set the governor.
Note: Refer to Service Manual, SENR6454, " 3114, 3116, and 3126 Engine Governors " for the
instructions on the 1U-7326 Governor Calibration Bench .

air purge valve. This resistance will indicate that the filter element is full of fuel.
3. Tighten the air purge valve.
4. Start the engine. If the engine will not start, further purging of air is necessary. If the engine starts but
the engine continues to misfire, further purging of air is necessary. If the engine starts but the engine
continues to emit smoke, further purging of air is necessary.

Unit Injector Synchronization - Adjust

Injector synchronization is the setting of all fuel injector racks to a reference position so that each
injector gives the same amount of fuel to each cylinder. This is done by setting each fuel injector rack
to the same position while the control linkage is in a fixed position.
Always synchronize an injector after the injector has been removed, replaced, or reused. If the No. 1
injector is reused or replaced, synchronization of all injectors must be checked and adjusted.
This entire procedure should be read and understood before you begin any work on the engine.
Note: The procedure that is described in this article is a new procedure that does not involve the use of
gauge blocks in order to adjust the unit injector synchronization. The earlier procedure that utilizes the
gauge blocks may still be used. However, the new procedure will provide the most accurate results.
Note: The following list includes additional parts that need to be supplied in order to perform the new
procedure: 9U-7282 Indicator Fixture Group, 8T-4177 Bolt, 9U-7263 Indicator Contact Point and 1U-

Inspection of the Compressor and the Compressor Housing


Remove air piping from the compressor inlet.
1. Inspect the compressor wheel for damage from a foreign object. If there is damage, determine the
source of the foreign object. As required, clean the inlet system and repair the intake system. Replace
the turbocharger. If there is no damage, go to Step 3.
2. Clean the compressor wheel and clean the compressor housing if you find buildup of foreign
material. If there is no buildup of foreign material, go to Step 3.
3. Turn the rotating assembly by hand. While you turn the assembly, push the assembly sideways. The
assembly should turn freely. The compressor wheel should not rub the compressor housing. Replace
the turbocharger if the compressor wheel rubs the compressor wheel housing. If there is no rubbing
or scraping, go to Step 4.
4. Inspect the compressor and the compressor wheel housing for oil leakage. An oil leak from the
compressor may deposit oil in the aftercooler. Drain and clean the aftercooler if you find oil in the
aftercooler.
a. Check the oil level in the crankcase. If the oil level is too high, adjust the oil level.
b. Inspect the air cleaner element for restriction. If restriction is found, correct the problem.
c. Inspect the engine crankcase breather. Clean the engine crankcase breather or replace the engine
crankcase breather if the engine crankcase breather is plugged.
d. Remove the turbocharger oil drain line. Inspect the drain opening. Inspect the oil drain line.
Inspect the area between the bearings of the rotating assembly shaft. Look for oil sludge. Inspect
the oil drain hole for oil sludge. Inspect the oil drain line for oil sludge in the drain line. If
necessary, clean the rotating assembly shaft. If necessary, clean the oil drain hole. If necessary,
clean the oil drain line.
e. If Steps 4.a through 4.d did not reveal the source of the oil leakage, the turbocharger has internal
damage. Replace the turbocharger.

Inspection of the Turbine Wheel and the Turbine Housing


Remove the air piping from the turbine outlet casing.
1. Inspect the turbine for damage by a foreign object. If there is damage, determine the source of the
foreign object. Replace the turbocharger. If there is no damage, go to Step 2.
2. Inspect the turbine wheel for buildup of carbon and other foreign material. Inspect the turbine
housing for buildup of carbon and foreign material. Clean the turbine wheel and clean the turbine
housing if you find buildup of carbon or foreign material. If there is no buildup of carbon or foreign
material, go to Step 3.
3. Turn the rotating assembly by hand. While you turn the assembly, push the assembly sideways. The
assembly should turn freely. The turbine wheel should not rub the turbine wheel housing. Replace
the turbocharger if the turbine wheel rubs the turbine wheel housing. If there is no rubbing or
scraping, go to Step 4.
4. Inspect the turbine and the turbine wheel housing for oil leakage. Inspect the turbine and the turbine
wheel housing for oil coking. Some oil coking may be cleaned. Heavy oil coking may require
replacement of the turbocharger. If the oil is coming from the turbocharger center housing go to Step
4.a. Otherwise go to "Inspection of the Wastegate".
a. Remove the turbocharger oil drain line. Inspect the drain opening. Inspect the area between the
bearings of the rotating assembly shaft. Look for oil sludge. Inspect the oil drain hole for oil
sludge. Inspect the oil drain line for oil sludge. If necessary, clean the rotating assembly shaft. If
necessary, clean the drain opening. If necessary, clean the drain line.
b. If crankcase pressure is high, or if the oil drain is restricted, pressure in the center housing may be
greater than the pressure of the turbine housing. Oil flow may be forced in the wrong direction and
the oil may not drain. Check the crankcase pressure and correct any problems.
c. If the oil drain line is damaged, replace the oil drain line.
d. Check the routing of the oil drain line. Eliminate any sharp restrictive bends. Make sure that the oil
drain line is not too close to the engine exhaust manifold.
e. If Steps 4.a through 4.d did not reveal the source of the oil leakage, the turbocharger has internal
damage. Replace the turbocharger.

Inspection of the Wastegate


The wastegate controls the amount of exhaust gas that is allowed to bypass the turbine side of the
turbocharger. This valve then controls the rpm of the turbocharger.

Illustration 1 g00707960
, (1) Actuating rod (2) Canister (3) Line

When the engine operates in conditions of low boost (lug), a spring presses against a diaphragm in
canister (2). The actuating rod (1) will move and the wastegate will close. Then, the turbocharger can
operate at maximum performance.
When the boost pressure increases against the diaphragm in the canister (2), the wastegate will open.
The rpm of the turbocharger becomes limited. The rpm limitation occurs because a portion of the
exhaust gases bypass the turbine wheel of the turbocharger.
The following levels of boost pressure indicate a problem with the wastegate:
¡ too high at full load conditions
¡ too low at all lug conditions

Note: The housing assembly for the wastegate is preset at the factory and no adjustments can be made.

NOTICE
If the high idle rpm or the engine rating is higher than given in the
Technical Marketing Information (TMI) for the height above sea level
at which the engine is operated, there can be damage to engine or to
turbocharger parts. Damage will result when increased heat and/or
friction due to the higher engine output goes beyond the engine cooling
and lubrication system's abilities.

To check the operation of the wastegate valve, remove line (3) and slowly apply 200 kPa (29 psi) of air
to canister (2). DO NOT EXCEED 200 kPa (29 psi). The actuating lever should move more than 0.50
mm (0.020 inch) when the external supply of air is connected to line (3). If the actuating lever does not
move at least 0.50 mm (0.020 inch), replace the entire turbocharger or replace the housing assembly for
the turbine. The housing assembly or the turbine includes the wastegate.
The boost pressure controls the maximum rpm of the turbocharger, because the boost pressure controls
the position of the wastegate. The following factors also affect the maximum rpm of the turbocharger:
¡ the engine rating
¡ the horsepower demand on the engine
¡ the high idle rpm
¡ the height above sea level for engine operation
¡ inlet air restriction
¡ exhaust system restriction

Inlet Manifold Pressure - Test

The efficiency of an engine can be checked by making a comparison of the pressure in the inlet
manifold with the information given in the TMI (Technical Marketing Information). The information is
also listed on the Fuel Setting And Related Information Microfiche. This test is used when there is a
decrease of horsepower from the engine, yet there is no real sign of a problem with the engine.
The correct pressure for the inlet manifold is listed in the TMI (Technical Marketing Information). The
correct pressure is also on the Fuel Setting And Related Information Microfiche. Development of this
information is performed under the following conditions:
¡ 99 kPa (29.7 in Hg) dry barometric pressure
¡ 29 °C (85 °F) outside air temperature
¡ 35 API rated fuel

On a turbocharged, aftercooled engine, a change in the fuel rating will change the horsepower. A
change in the fuel rating will change the inlet manifold pressure. If the fuel is rated above 35 API, the
inlet manifold pressure can be less than the pressure given in the TMI (Technical Marketing
Information). The pressure will also be less than the pressure that is listed on the Fuel Setting And
Related Information Microfiche. If the fuel is rated below 35 API, the inlet manifold pressure can be
more than the pressure listed in the TMI (Technical Marketing Information). The pressure will also be
more than the pressure that is listed on the Fuel Setting And Related Information Microfiche.
Note: Ensure that the air inlet and the exhaust are not restricted when you are checking the inlet
manifold pressure.

When the engine runs at low idle, the temperature of an exhaust manifold port can indicate the
condition of a fuel injection nozzle.
A low temperature indicates that no fuel is flowing to the cylinder. An inoperative fuel injection nozzle
or a problem with the fuel injection pump could cause this low temperature.
A very high temperature can indicate that too much fuel is flowing to the cylinder. A malfunctioning
fuel injection nozzle could cause this very high temperature.

Damaged pistons or rings can cause too much pressure in the crankcase. This condition will cause the
engine to run rough. There will be more than the normal amount of fumes (blowby) rising from the
crankcase breather. The breather can then become restricted in a very short time, causing oil leakage at
gaskets and seals that would not normally have leakage. Blowby can also be caused by worn valve
guides or by a failed turbocharger seal.

1. Put the No. 1 piston at the top center position on the compression stroke. Refer to Testing and
Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston".
2. With the No. 1 piston at the top center position of the compression stroke, an adjustment can be
made to the valves. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Gear Group (Front) - Time" for the information
that is required in order to adjust the valves.
Note: Before any actual adjustment is made, lightly tap the rocker arm at the top of the adjustment
screw with a soft mallet. This will ensure that the lifter roller seats against the camshaft's base circle.
3. Loosen adjustment locknut (3) .
4. If there is not enough clearance in order to insert the feeler gauge between rocker arm (2) and valve
(1), turn adjustment screw (4) counterclockwise in order to increase the clearance.
5. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between rocker arm (2) and the valve (1). Then, turn the
adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. Slide the feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the
valve. Continue turning the adjustment screw until a slight drag is felt on the feeler gauge. Remove
the feeler gauge.
6. Tighten adjustment locknut (3) to a torque of 25 ± 7 N·m (18± 5 lb ft). Do not allow the adjustment
screw to turn while you are tightening the adjustment locknut. Recheck the valve lash after
tightening the adjustment locknut.
7. Remove the timing bolt and turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of engine rotation. This
will put the No. 6 piston at the top center position on the compression stroke. Install the timing bolt
in the flywheel.
8. Adjust the valve lash on the remaining valves. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Gear Group (Front) -
Time" for the information that is required in order to adjust the valves.

Engine Oil Level Is Low

Check the engine oil level in the crankcase. The oil level can possibly be too far below the oil pump
supply tube. This will cause the oil pump not to have the ability to supply enough lubrication to the
engine components. If the engine oil level is low add engine oil in order to obtain the correct engine oil
level. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Oil" for the recommendations of engine
oil.

The Engine Oil Pump Is Faulty

Check the following problems that may occur to the engine oil pump.
1. Air leakage in the supply side of the oil pump will also cause cavitation and loss of oil pressure.
Check the supply side of the oil pump and make necessary repairs. For information on the repair of
the engine oil pump, refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Pump - Remove".
2. Oil pump gears that have too much wear will cause a reduction in oil pressure. Repair the engine oil
pump. For information on the repair of the engine oil pump, refer to Disassembly and Assembly,
"Engine Oil Pump - Remove".

The Oil Pickup Tube Has A Leak Or A Restricted Inlet Screen

The inlet screen of the oil pickup tube for the engine oil pump can have a restriction. This restriction
will cause cavitation and a loss of engine oil pressure. Check the inlet screen on the oil pickup tube and
remove any material that may be restricting engine oil flow. Low engine oil pressure may also be the
result of the oil pickup tube that is drawing in air. Check the joints of the oil pickup tube for cracks or a
damaged O-ring seal. Remove the engine oil pan in order to gain access to the oil pickup tube and the
oil screen. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Pan - Remove and Install" for more
information.

Engine Oil Is Contaminated

Engine oil that is contaminated with fuel or coolant will cause low engine oil pressure. High engine oil
level in the crankcase can be an indication of contamination. Determine the reason for contamination of
the engine oil and make the necessary repairs. Replace the engine oil with the approved grade of engine
oil. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Oil" for the recommendations of engine oil.

The Engine Oil Bypass Valves Are Open

NOTICE
Caterpillar oil filters are built to Caterpillar specifications. Use of an
oil filter not recommended by Caterpillar could result in severe engine
damage to the engine bearings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of the larger
waste particles from unfiltered oil entering the engine lubricating
system. Only use oil filters recommended by Caterpillar.

If the engine oil bypass valves are held in the open position, a reduction in the oil pressure can be the
result. This may be due to debris in the engine oil. If the engine oil bypass valves are stuck in the open
position, remove each engine oil bypass valve and clean each bypass valve in order to correct this
problem. You must also clean each bypass valve bore. Install new engine oil filters. New engine oil
filters will prevent more debris from causing this problem. For information on the repair of the engine
oil bypass valves, refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Filter Base - Disassemble".

The Engine Lubrication System Is Open

An oil line or an oil passage that is open, broken, or disconnected will cause low engine oil pressure.
021 : Testing and Adjusting
192
An open lubrication system could be caused by a piston cooling jet that is missing or damaged.
Determine the reason for an open lubrication system of the engine and make the necessary repairs.

Piston Cooling Jets

The piston cooling jets direct engine oil toward the bottom of the piston in order to cool the piston. This
also provides lubrication for the piston pin. Breakage, a restriction or incorrect installation of the piston
cooling jets will cause seizure of the piston.

Engine Bearings Have Excessive Clearance

Excessive clearance at engine bearings will cause low engine oil pressure. Check the engine
components that have excessive bearing clearance and make the necessary repairs.

Reason for High Engine Oil Pressure

NOTICE
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.
Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during
performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair
of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers
before opening any compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids.
Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Tools and Shop
Products Guide" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain
fluids on Caterpillar products.
Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

Engine oil pressure will be high if the engine oil bypass valves become stuck in the closed position and
the engine oil flow is restricted. Foreign matter in the engine oil system could be the cause for the
restriction of the oil flow and the movement of the engine oil bypass valves. If the engine oil bypass
valves are stuck in the closed position, remove each bypass valve and clean each bypass valve in order
to correct this problem. You must also clean each bypass valve bore. Install new engine oil filters. New
engine oil filters will prevent more debris from causing this problem. For information on the repair of
the engine oil filter bypass valve, refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Filter Base -

Excessive Bearing Wear - Inspect

When some components of the engine show bearing wear in a short time, the cause can be a restriction
in an oil passage.
An engine oil pressure indicator may show that there is enough oil pressure, but a component is worn
due to a lack of lubrication. In such a case, look at the passage for the oil supply to the component. A
restriction in an oil supply passage will not allow enough lubrication to reach a component. This will
result in early wear.

Excessive Engine Oil Consumption - Inspect


Oil Leakage On Outside Of Engine
Check for leakage at the seals at each end of the crankshaft. Look for leakage at the oil pan gasket and
all lubrication system connections. Look for any oil that may be leaking from the crankcase breather.
This can be caused by combustion gas leakage around the pistons. A dirty crankcase breather will
cause high pressure in the crankcase. A dirty crankcase breather will cause the gaskets and the seals to
leak.

Oil Leakage Into Combustion Area Of Cylinders


Oil leakage into the combustion area of the cylinders can be the cause of blue smoke. There are four
possible ways for oil leakage into the combustion area of the cylinders:
¡ Oil leakage between worn valve guides and valve stems
¡ Worn components or damaged components (pistons, piston rings, or dirty oil return holes)
¡ Incorrect installation of the compression ring and/or the intermediate ring
¡ Oil leakage past the seal rings in the impeller end of the turbocharger shaft

Excessive oil consumption can also be the result if oil with the wrong viscosity is used. Oil with a thin
viscosity can be caused by fuel leakage into the crankcase or by increased engine temperature.

Increased Engine Oil Temperature - Inspect

When the engine is at operating temperature and you are using SAE 10W30 oil, the maximum oil
temperature is 115 °C (239 °F). This is the temperature of the oil after passing through the oil cooler.
Look for a restriction in the oil passages of the oil cooler. The oil temperature may be higher than
normal when the engine is operating. In such a case, the oil cooler may have a restriction. A restriction
in the oil cooler will not cause low oil pressure in the engine.
Determine if the oil cooler bypass valve is held in the open position. This condition will allow the oil to
pass through the valve instead of the oil cooler. The oil temperature will increase.

Cooling System - Check - Overheating

Above normal coolant temperatures can be caused by many conditions. Use the following procedure to
determine the cause of above normal coolant temperatures:

Personal injury can result from escaping fluid under pressure.


If a pressure indication is shown on the indicator, push the release valve
in order to relieve pressure before removing any hose from the radiator.

1. Check the coolant level in the cooling system. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Cooling System Coolant Level - Check". If the coolant level is too low, air will get into the cooling
system. Air in the cooling system will cause a reduction in coolant flow and bubbles in the coolant.
Air bubbles will keep coolant away from the engine parts, which will prevent the transfer of heat to
the coolant. Low coolant level is caused by leaks or incorrectly filling the radiator.
2. Check the mixture of antifreeze and water. The mixture should be approximately 50 percent water
and 50 percent antifreeze with 3 to 6 percent coolant conditioner. Refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "General Coolant Information". If the coolant mixture is incorrect, drain the
system. Put the correct mixture of water, antifreeze and coolant conditioner in the cooling system.
3. Check for air in the cooling system. Air can enter the cooling system in different ways. The most
common causes of air in the cooling system are not filling the cooling system correctly and
combustion gas leakage into the cooling system. Combustion gas can get into the system through
inside cracks, a damaged cylinder head, or a damaged cylinder head gasket. Air in the cooling
system causes a reduction in coolant flow and bubbles in the coolant. Air bubbles keep coolant away
from the engine parts, which prevents the transfer of heat to the coolant.
4. Check the water temperature gauge. A water temperature gauge which does not work correctly will
not show the correct temperature. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Cooling System - Inspect".
5. Check the sending unit. In some conditions, the temperature sensor in the engine sends signals to a
sending unit. The sending unit converts these signals to an electrical impulse which is used by a
mounted gauge. If the sending unit malfunctions, the gauge can show an incorrect reading. Also if
the electric wire breaks or if the electric wire shorts out, the gauge can show an incorrect reading.
6. Check the radiator.
a. Check the radiator for a restriction to coolant flow. Check the radiator for debris, dirt, or deposits
on the inside of the radiator core. Debris, dirt, or deposits will restrict the flow of coolant through
the radiator.
b. Check for debris or damage between the fins of the radiator core. Debris between the fins of the
radiator core restricts air flow through the radiator core. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Cooling
System - Inspect".
7. Check the filler cap. A pressure drop in the radiator can cause the boiling point to be lower. This can
cause the cooling system to boil. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Cooling System - Test".
8. Check the fan and/or the fan shroud.
a. The fan must be large enough to send air through most of the area of the radiator core. Ensure that
the size of the fan and the position of the fan are according to the OEM specifications.
b. The fan shroud must be the proper size and the fan shroud must be positioned correctly. Ensure
that the size of the fan shroud and the position of the fan shroud are according to the OEM
specifications.
9. Check for loose drive belts.
a. A loose fan drive belt will cause a reduction in the air flow across the radiator. Check the fan drive
belt for proper belt tension. Adjust the tension of the fan drive belt, if necessary. Refer to
Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Belt - Inspect".
b. A loose water pump drive belt will cause a reduction in coolant flow through the radiator. Check
the water pump drive belt for proper belt tension. Adjust the water pump drive belt's tension, if

025 : Testing and Adjusting


197
necessary. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Belt - Inspect".
10. Check the cooling system hoses and clamps. Damaged hoses with leaks can normally be seen. Hoses
that have no visual leaks can soften during operation. The soft areas of the hose can become kinked
or crushed during operation. These areas of the hose can cause a restriction in the coolant flow.
Hoses become soft and/or get cracks after a period of time. The inside of a hose can deteriorate, and
the loose particles of the hose can cause a restriction of the coolant flow. Refer to Operation and
Maintenance Manual, "Hoses and Clamps - Inspect/Replace".
11. Check for a restriction in the air inlet system. A restriction of the air that is coming into the engine
can cause high cylinder temperatures. High cylinder temperatures require higher than normal
temperatures in the cooling system. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Air Inlet and Exhaust System -
Inspect".
a. If the measured restriction is higher than the maximum permissible restriction, remove the foreign
material from the engine air cleaner element or install a new engine air cleaner element. Refer to
Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Air Cleaner Element - Clean/Replace".
b. Repeat the check for a restriction in the air inlet system.
c. If the measured restriction is still higher than the maximum permissible restriction, check the air
inlet piping for a restriction.
12. Check for a restriction in the exhaust system. A restriction of the air that is coming out of the engine
can cause high cylinder temperatures.
a. Make a visual inspection of the exhaust system. Check for damage to exhaust piping or for a
damaged muffler. If no damage is found, check the exhaust system for a restriction. Refer to
Testing and Adjusting, "Air Inlet and Exhaust System - Inspect".
b. If the measured restriction is higher than the maximum permissible restriction, there is a restriction
in the exhaust system. Repair the exhaust system, as required.
13. Check the water temperature regulator. A water temperature regulator that does not open, or a water
temperature regulator that only opens part of the way can cause overheating. Refer to Testing and
Adjusting, "Water Temperature Regulator - Test".
14. Check the water pump. A water pump with a damaged impeller does not pump enough coolant for
correct engine cooling. Remove the water pump and check for damage to the impeller. Refer to
Testing and Adjusting, "Water Pump - Test".
15. Check the air flow through the engine compartment. The air flow through the radiator comes out of
the engine compartment. Ensure that the filters, air conditioner, and similar items are not installed in
a way that prevents the free flow of air through the engine compartment.
16. Consider high outside temperatures. When outside temperatures are too high for the rating of the
cooling system, there is not enough of a temperature difference between the outside air and coolant
temperatures.
17. Consider high altitude operation. The cooling capacity of the cooling system goes down as the
engine is operated at higher altitudes. A pressurized cooling system that is large enough to keep the
coolant from boiling must be used.

Cooling System - Inspect

Cooling systems that are not regularly inspected are the cause for increased engine temperatures. Make
a visual inspection of the cooling system before any tests are performed.

Personal injury can result from escaping fluid under pressure.


If a pressure indication is shown on the indicator, push the release valve
in order to relieve pressure before removing any hose from the radiator.

1. Check the coolant level in the cooling system. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual,
"Cooling System Coolant Level - Check".
2. Check the quality of the coolant. The coolant should have the following properties:
n Color that is similar to new coolant
n Odor that is similar to new coolant
n Free from dirt and debris

If the coolant does not have these properties, drain the system and flush the system. Refill the
cooling system with the correct mixture of water, antifreeze, and coolant conditioner. Refer to the
Operation and Maintenance Manual for your engine in order to obtain coolant recommendations.
3. Look for leaks in the system.
Note: A small amount of coolant leakage across the surface of the water pump seals is normal. This
leakage is required in order to provide lubrication for this type of seal. A hole is provided in the
water pump housing in order to allow this coolant/seal lubricant to drain from the pump housing.
Intermittent leakage of small amounts of coolant from this hole is not an indication of water pump
seal failure.
4. Ensure that the air flow through the radiator does not have a restriction. Look for bent core fins
between the folded cores of the radiator. Also, look for debris between the folded cores of the
radiator.
5. Inspect the drive belts for the fan.
6. Check for damage to the fan blades.
7. Look for air or combustion gas in the cooling system.
8. Inspect the filler cap, and check the surface that seals the filler cap. This surface must be clean.

Cooling System - Test

This engine has a pressure type cooling system. A pressure type cooling system has two advantages.
The cooling system can be operated in a safe manner at a temperature higher than the normal boiling
point (steam) of water.
This type of system prevents cavitation in the water pump. Cavitation is the forming of low pressure
bubbles in liquids that are caused by mechanical forces. The formation of an air pocket or a steam
pocket in this type of cooling system is difficult.

Illustration 1 g00921815
Boiling point of water

Remember that temperature and pressure work together. When a diagnosis is made of a cooling system
problem, temperature and pressure must be checked. Cooling system pressure will have an effect on the
cooling system temperature. For an example, refer to Illustration 1. This will show the effect of
pressure on the boiling point (steam) of water. This will also show the effect of height above sea level.

Personal injury can result from hot coolant, steam and alkali.
At operating temperature, engine coolant is hot and under pressure.
The radiator and all lines to heaters or the engine contain hot coolant or
steam. Any contact can cause severe burns.
Remove filler cap slowly to relieve pressure only when engine is stopped
and radiator cap is cool enough to touch with your bare hand.
Cooling System Conditioner contains alkali. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes.

The coolant level must be to the correct level in order to check the coolant system. The engine must be
cold and the engine must not be running.
After the engine is cool, loosen the pressure cap in order to relieve the pressure out of the cooling
system. Then remove the pressure cap.
The level of the coolant should not be more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) from the bottom of the filler pipe. If
the cooling system is equipped with a sight glass, the coolant should be to the proper level in the sight
glass.

Making the Correct Antifreeze Mixtures


Adding pure antifreeze as a makeup solution for the cooling system top-off is an unacceptable practice.
Adding pure antifreeze increases the concentration of antifreeze in the cooling system. This increases
the concentration of the dissolved solids and the undissolved chemical inhibitors in the cooling system.

Battery - Test

Most of the tests of the electrical system can be done on the engine. The wiring insulation must be in
good condition. The wire and cable connections must be clean, and both components must be tight.

Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or battery circuit cable from
the battery when the charging unit is operated. A spark can cause an
explosion from the flammable vapor mixture of hydrogen and oxygen
that is released from the electrolyte through the battery outlets. Injury
to personnel can be the result.

The battery circuit is an electrical load on the charging unit. The load is variable because of the
condition of the charge in the battery.

NOTICE
The charging unit will be damaged if the connections between the
battery and the charging unit are broken while the battery is being
charged. Damage occurs because the load from the battery is lost and
because there is an increase in charging voltage. High voltage will
damage the charging unit, the regulator, and other electrical
components.

198-9145 0.230 to 0.510 mm 1
(0.009 to 0.020 inch)

Note: Plastic gauge may not be necessary when the engine is in the chassis.

NOTICE
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.
Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

Note: Caterpillar does not recommend the checking of the actual bearing clearances particularly on
small engines. This is because of the possibility of obtaining inaccurate results and the possibility of
damaging the bearing or the journal surfaces. Each Caterpillar engine bearing is quality checked for
specific wall thickness.
Note: The measurements should be within specifications and the correct bearings should be used. If the
crankshaft journals and the bores for the block and the rods were measured during disassembly, no
further checks are necessary. However, if the technician still wants to measure the bearing clearances,
Tooling (A) is an acceptable method. Tooling (A) is less accurate on journals with small diameters if
clearances are less than 0.10 mm (0.004 inch).

NOTICE
Lead wire, shim stock or a dial bore gauge can damage the bearing
surfaces.

The technician must be very careful to use Tooling (A) correctly. The following points must be
remembered:
¡ Ensure that the backs of the bearings and the bores are clean and dry.
¡ Ensure that the bearing locking tabs are properly seated in the tab grooves.
¡ The crankshaft must be free of oil at the contact points of Tooling (A) .
1. Put a piece of Tooling (A) on the crown of the bearing that is in the cap.
Note: Do not allow Tooling (A) to extend over the edge of the bearing.
2. Use the correct torque-turn specifications in order to install the bearing cap. Do not use an impact
086 : Disassembly and Assembly
377
wrench. Be careful not to dislodge the bearing when the cap is installed.
Note: Do not turn the crankshaft when Tooling (A) is installed.
3. Carefully remove the cap, but do not remove Tooling (A) . Measure the width of Tooling (A) while
Tooling (A) is in the bearing cap or on the crankshaft journal. Refer to Illustration 1.

Illustration 1 g01152855
Typical Example
4. Remove all of Tooling (A) before you install the bearing cap.
Note: When Tooling (A) is used, the readings can sometimes be unclear. For example, all parts of
Tooling (A) are not the same width. Measure the major width in order to ensure that the parts are
within the specification range. Refer to Specifications Manual, "Connecting Rod Bearing Journal"
and Specifications Manual, "Main Bearing Journal" for the correct clearances.
