Engine News SEBD9311, July 2002, "C-10/C-12/3176C/3196 Front Housing Bolts". Disregard this article. See the article that follows.

The front of the engine block has been modified. This modification requires the use of a new front cover gasket and different bolts that attach the front housing to the engine block. The new front cover gasket and different bolts help to provide an improved seal between the front housing and the engine block. The correct bolts need to be used to attach the front housing. Use Table 1 to identify your Type of engine.

Table 1 is your guide for selecting your correct Type of engine. If your engine is a Type 1 proceed to "Type 1". If your engine is a Type 2 proceed to "Type 2". If you have a remanufactured engine proceed to "Remanufactured Engines". The following illustrations will provide added information on the installation of the front housing.

Check for availability of a gasket kit. The gasket kit will include a new front cover gasket, bolts for Type 1 and Type 2. This kit can be used to service Type 1, Type 2, and Remanufactured Engines.

Type 1




Illustration 1g00856488

6V-2317 Bolt




Illustration 2g00856491

204-0712 Bolt

The two bolts (Type 1) are 30 mm (1.18 inch) long. Marks on the head of the bolt represent the grade of the bolt. These markings can be seen in illustration 1 and 2. The 6V-2317 Bolt is replaced by 204-0712 Bolt. The 204-0712 Bolt has a torque value of 40 ± 8 N·m (30 ± 6 lb ft). 13 bolts are required for the installation of the front housing.

Type 2




Illustration 3g00856344

6V-5219 Bolt

The 6V-5219 Bolt (Type 2) has a length of 40 mm (1.57 inch). The bolt for Type 2 is 10 mm (0.39 inch) longer than the bolt for Type 1. The longer bolt is needed due to a deeper counterbore and the tapped hole. Do Not replace the 6V-5219 Bolt with the 204-0712 Bolt or the 6V-2317 Bolt. Damage to the threads could result. The torque on the 6V-5219 Bolt bolt is 35 ± 8 N·m (26 ± 6 lb ft). 13 bolts are required for the installation of the front housing.

Remanufactured Engines




Illustration 4g00838008

Depth of counterbore (Y) requires engines to use 204-0712 Bolt .




Illustration 5g00838007

Depth of counterbore (Z) requires engines to use a 6V-5219 Bolt .

The counterbore in the engine block must be measured in order to determine the bolts that will be used. If your engine block has a counterbore (Y) of 5 mm (0.20 inch), proceed to "Type 1". If your engine block has a counterbore (Z) of 15 mm (0.60 inch), proceed to "Type 2".
