A new injector seating tool group and injector seating procedure is now available to provide improved seating of injectors in the cylinder head brass sleeves. The improved seating provides a better metal to metal seal against combustion gas leakage into the fuel. The improved seating tools and procedures eliminate the need to ream new sleeves after installation. Used sleeves do not need to be reamed unless the seat area is pitted, eroded, or has excessive carbon deposits. The new 173-1530 Injector Seating Tool Group includes the NEHS0738 Tool Operating Manual that contains injector seating procedures for both Mechanical Unit Injection (MUI) and Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injection (HEUI) "2-Valve" Machine Engines. There is also an instructional video tape available that shows how to perform the injection seating procedures using the new 173-1530 Injector Seating Tool Group. The media number for the video tape is LEVN4732. The video tape is available through normal Caterpillar literature ordering channels. The new 173-1530 Injector Seating Tool Group and procedures are adaptable to all 3114, 3116, and 3126 Machine Engines.
