Correct handling of the water pumps in the above engines for Caterpillar built machines is necessary. Improper handling of the water pumps can cause cracking of the face seal group, resulting in very early hour failures.
| NOTICE |
|---|
Water pumps may leak as a result of damaged face seals. Relative movement between the shaft and the housing may allow the drive shaft to contact the face seal in the water pump. If contact occurs, the face seal will be damaged, and very early hour failures can result.
