New Gasket For The Cylinder Block Cover {1201}
- Engine:
- 3606 (S/N: 8RB1-UP)
- 3608 (S/N: 6MC1-UP; 5PG1-UP)
- G3606 (S/N: 3XF1-UP; 4ZS1-UP)
- G3608 (S/N: 4WF1-UP; BEN1-UP)
Description of Change: A new gasket is being used for 3600 in-line engines, both gas and diesel. The new gasket has more gasket surface near the bolt hole in order to compensate for misaligned conditions.
Adaptable To: The new 241-3284 Gasket is a direct replacement for the cancelled 9Y-7084 Gasket. The new 241-3284 Gasket is acceptable as a replacement for the 9Y-7084 Gasket on all 3606, 3608, G3606, and G3608 Engines.
To ensure that the 241-3284 Gasket does not leak, use the following installation procedure:

- Drain the engine coolant to a level that is below the cylinder block covers.
- Remove the cylinder block cover and the 9Y-7084 Gasket. Discard the bolts, the washers, and the clips.
- Clean the surfaces of the cylinder block and the surfaces of the cylinder block cover. Remove any debris and any traces of the 9Y-7084 Gasket .
- Install a new 241-3284 Gasket and the cylinder block cover with 1A-2029 Bolts and 3V-3308 Washers. Install the two bolts (X). See illustration 1. Tighten the bolts by hand for several turns in order to support the cylinder block cover.
Note: "INSIDE" is etched or stamped on the inside surface of the cylinder block cover. Ensure that the surface marked "INSIDE" faces the cylinder block during the installation of the cylinder block cover.
- Replace any of the discarded clips that are listed above with 4P-7581 Clips and 9X-6772 Cable Straps. A longer 0S-1588 Bolt is required for use with the 4P-7581 Clips .
- Install the nine bolts that are located below the bolts (X). Tighten the bolts by hand.
- Align the cylinder block cover with the 241-3284 Gasket and with the tapped holes that are in the cylinder block. See illustration 2.
- Tighten the two bolts (X). This will maintain the correct alignment between the cylinder block cover and the 241-3284 Gasket .
- Install the three bolts that remain.
- Tighten all of the bolts in a crisscross sequence to the correct standard torque.
