ACTION REQUIRED
Note: Apply this program to engines that have 3 or fewer coolant leaks at the cylinder head to block joint and do not have top deck block damage according to reuse and salvage guidelines outlined in SEBF8255. Remove affected cylinder heads and liners and implement new 352-6061 Liner Seals. Reseal head gasket with current production parts. Note: The top deck edge of the bore for the liner must be chamfered to accommodate the 352-6061 Liner Seal. The procedure to chamfer the liner bore can be found in SEBF8255. For detailed information regarding the removal and installation of components, reference SENR6564. |
