Measurement Requirements


NOTICE

Precise measurements shall be made when the component and measurement equipment are at 20° (68° F). Measurements shall be made after both the component and measurement equipment have had sufficient time to soak at 20° (68° F). This will ensure that both the surface and core of the material is at the same temperature.


Initial Cleaning of the Engine



Illustration 3g06238164

Cap all machined surfaces and plug all the hoses and fuel lines.

Clean all the external surfaces before the engine is disassembled. Clean all the external surfaces before the engine is brought into the shop. Use a high-pressure washer to spray the engine with hot water and soap or 174-6858 Cleaner.

------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury can result from working with cleaning solvent.

Because of the volatile nature of many cleaning solvents, extreme caution must be exercised when using them. If unsure about a particular cleaning fluid, refer to the manufacturer's instructions and directions.

Always wear protective clothing and eye protection when working with cleaning solvents.



NOTICE

All reconditioned components should be cleaned again before assembly. Any debris or residue on the parts such as metal chips, carbon deposits, or sludge can enter the system. Debris or residue can cause early engine failures.


After the initial cleaning of the engine, disassemble the engine. Refer to the appropriate Disassembly and Assembly manual for your engine.

All fasteners should be compared against Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8301, "Inspection and Reuse of Critical Fasteners Used in All Engines". Pay special attention to head bolts, main bolts, connecting rod bolts, and rocker shaft bolts when considering reusability. Any visual damage to the bolts should disqualify the bolt from reuse.

Note: It is recommended to replace all cylinder head bolts and the spacer plates (if applicable) on any engine that has experienced a failure of the head deck/cylinder head joint.

Cleaning the Cylinder Block

One of the major reasons for a bearing failure after an engine overhaul is damage caused by debris in the oil passages. Remove all dirt, debris, and metal shavings from all openings, ports, and passages. Refer to M0080689 Reuse And Salvage Guidelines, "Cylinder Block Cleaning and Audit Procedure" for cylinder block cleaning.


NOTICE

Failure to remove all dirt, debris, and/or metal shavings from openings, ports, and passages, will result in damage to the engine and the related components. A cylinder block that is not cleaned thoroughly will result in piston seizure or rapid wear of the cylinder bores, pistons, and piston rings. Only the thorough use of a rotary brush will correctly remove abrasive particles.


Note: Do not use surface reconditioning pads on the head deck of the block, spacer plates, and cylinder head surfaces.

Reconditioning Suggestions

The following is a list of suggestions that are for common problems that can occur when the cylinder block is being reconditioned.

  • The area around the cylinder sleeve can sometimes be polished by the slight movements between the cylinder sleeve and the block. This polished surface is sometimes seen as erosion. If the measurable erosion is not more than 0.03 mm (0.001 inch), there is no need to shave the head deck. The cylinder sleeve needs to be flush with the top of the block.

  • The best way to salvage minor erosion that is at a depth of 0.13 mm (0.005 inch) or more depth that is on the head deck of the cylinder block use the Belzona® kit for the affected area.

Critical Factors for Reconditioning the Cylinder Blocks

There are several factors that affect the amount of material that can be removed from the surface of the component. The factors include the valve and projections of the cylinder sleeve and the mating surface flatness. The other factors that should be included are backlash of the timing gear and surface texture. When you are reconditioning the mating surfaces of the block and head be sure to measure the areas as well as the dimensions for the minimum thickness of the cylinder blocks.

In all the following reconditioning procedures, remove the minimum material that is necessary to make the repair.

Note: The dimensions assume that the centerline of the crankshaft has not been raised. Adjust the specifications accordingly if the machining has already occurred.

Surface Texture

The machined surface must be smooth to form a good seal. The machined finish that is between the cylinder head and the block must meet specifications.

Dimensions for Reconditioning

Note: When you are reconditioning the block, remove the minimum amount of material that is necessary to make the repair.

If a block is machined, the projection of the sleeve must be checked during assembly and also adjusted to the correct specifications.

When you are reconditioning an engine, both the block and head must be checked.

Marking the Reconditioned Block

Keep exact records on the amount of stock and the location of stock that was removed from the engine. Mark the block or stamp the block near the changed surface, but not in an area of the gasket seal. For additional information on the marking of the parts, refer to Reuse and Salvage Guide, SEBF8187, "Standardized Parts Marking Procedures".

The markings could also have code letters for the dealer and/or the machine shop. Write all this information in the Service Report for the engine history or the history of the vehicle. Write a report in the Service Information Management System (SIMS) to describe the machining that was performed on the engine.

Repair Damage to the Block

There are several methods of casting repair that are available, dependent on the type of damage to the block. Carefully follow the recommended Special Instructions for each method. Each method that is described below has a special application. Use only the method that is approved in the application.

Cast Iron Welding

A new cold welding procedure has been developed by Caterpillar which permits the repair of Caterpillar castings. Special welding rods of high nickel alloy are available through Caterpillar, required for a successful repair. The part numbers for the electrode and the Instructions for welding non-structural cracks are given in the Special Instruction, SEHS8919, "Salvage Procedure for Cast Iron Cylinder Blocks".

Lock-N-Stitch

Using the Lock-N-Stitch repair kits that are available from Caterpillar may be able to repair the holes that are caused by a single failure of the rod or cracks in a casting. These repairs should not be made in structural areas. The repair method that is utilized can achieve a permanent repair. The detailed instructions and the part numbers for the kit can be found in the Special Instruction, SEBF8882, "Using the Lock-N-Stitch Procedures for Casting Salvage".

Belzona® 1311 Ceramic R Metal

The mixed material can be used to repair porosity or pitting of the block. The composite material can only be used in the applications that are outlined because of the low material strength that is compared with welding and Lock-n-stitch. Instructions for obtaining the material and the application of material can be found in Special Instruction, SEHS8869, "Cylinder Block Salvage Procedure for Using Belzona® 1311 Ceramic R Metal".

The block needs to be thoroughly cleaned after each of the above repair methods. The repair of the block that is using Belzona® products cannot be placed in the strong caustic material at an elevated temperature. Using strong caustic material may soften the material of the repair.

Repairing Block Head Deck with Thermal Spray

A thermal spray process can also be used to restore the contact surfaces to the original dimensions. Refer to "Flame Spray and Arc Spray", for information about thermal spray repair procedures.

General Specifications

Flatness of the Head Deck



Illustration 4g06337213
(1) Cylinder Block

Measure the flatness of the head deck. Use a straight edge and a feeler gauge to measure the flatness of the head deck. Measure the surface in two positions crosswise and measure the surface in two positions lengthwise.

The total flatness of the top contact surface of the cylinder block must be within 0.10 mm (0.004 inch).

The flatness of the head deck must be held for the entire surface. There can be no more than 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) over any 150.00 mm (6.000 inch) span.

Note: The 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) tolerance for flatness cannot be increased by increasing the 150.00 mm (6.000 inch) length.

Main Bearing Bores

Inspect the bore for the main bearings and the main bearing cap. Use a dial bore gauge to measure the bore. If necessary, the bore for the main bearings can be machined to use oversized bearings.



Illustration 5g06337217
(2) Bearing Cap
(3) Dial Bore Gauge

Inspect the alignment of the main bearing bores. Use a boring machine to check the alignment of the main bearing bores. If a boring machine is not available, use a long machinists straight edge and a feeler gauge to check the alignment of the bearing bores. The following procedure describes the use of a machinists straightedge and a feeler gauge to check the alignment:

  • Place a 0.038 mm (0.0015 inch) feeler gauge in the bore and then lay the straightedge across the feeler gauge and several of bearing bores. Do not put pressure on the straightedge.

  • Check if the feeler gauge pulls out freely. If the feeler gauge pulls out freely, that bore is not in alignment.

  • Use this procedure to check the alignment of each main bearing bore.

Note: The long straight edge must be handled carefully to prevent nicks and burrs. Support the cylinder block evenly so the measurements are accurate.

Check the size of the main bearing bores by using the 1P-3537 Dial Bore Gauge. Check Table 4 to make sure that the bore size for the main bearings meets the specifications. This dimension is used after the crankshaft is removed and the bearing caps are assembled and tightened according to the specifications in this service manual.

Refer to Illustration 8, through 13 with Table 4 for identification of several locations and dimensions that are frequently referenced during the reconditioning of a cylinder block.

Tightening Procedure for Main Bearing Cap Bolts

Install the bearing caps in the correct order of sequence. The bearing caps must be torqued from the front to the rear. Check the Identifying marks on the caps and the block before tightening.

  1. Lubricate the bolt threads and the washer faces with clean engine oil.

  2. Tighten the bolts in accordance with the proper torque specifications. Refer to the appropriate specifications manual for the torque specifications.

Camshaft Bore

Inspect the camshaft bores for wear and impact damage whenever the camshaft has been removed. Remove any raised material with a file, and polish with a Scotch Brite pad if necessary. Refer to the camshaft bore specifications in this Guideline for maximum bore diameter. If any bore shows excessive debris damage, the spacer block must be replaced or repaired using replacement bearings.



Illustration 6g06344335
Inspect the camshaft bores for wear and impact damage.

Use Again



Illustration 7g06344258
Checking camshaft bore for maximum average diameter and out-of-alignment. The average diameter should measure 75.075 mm (2.95570 inch), and out-of-alignment should be no more than 0.10 mm (0.00394 inch).

Measure the camshaft bores for diameter, roundness, and bore alignment whenever the camshaft is removed. Measure the diameter in two places (C) and (D) using bore gauge. It is important to inspect and certify the gauge before using it. It is necessary to bolt the spacer block to the cylinder block to measure the alignment.

Cylinder Block Head Deck Surface Inspection During In Frame Overhaul

Inspection of the cylinder block head deck, especially in the liner seat area, is critical to head gasket life. A visual inspection of the liner seat area will determine if the block is reusable. Head gasket failure and / or liner flange cracks can result from an irregular surface on the liner seat area regardless of liner projection results. If the block needs to have the liner seats counter bored contact your local Cat dealer. Your Cat dealer will have the latest documentation and the capability to counter bore the cylinder block and install liner seat shims.

Note: The liner seat of the cylinder block must be inspected to ensure that it is usable as is or if liner seat shims must be installed prior to the installation of the liner. Anytime the cylinder head is removed liner projection should be measured. Also, special consideration should be given to other areas such as the spacer plate joint to ensure proper sealing and long-term reliability.

If any of the following are true, cylinder block machining counter boring and installation of liner seat shims is required.

  • Lack of original machining marks in the liner seat area

  • Fretting, erosion, pitting, or corrosion in the liner seat area

  • Liner projection is not within specification

  • Engine block life is greater than 750,000 Miles or 15,000 hours

  • Cylinder head is being removed because of a liner flange failure or a cylinder head gasket failure following an overhaul or previous head gasket repair

  • Engine is being overhauled for a second time and liner seat inserts were not installed during first overhaul

Head Deck Visual Inspection

The following inspection process should be followed carefully. Any evidence of head deck wear, fretting, corrosion, pitting, or erosion should be addressed during the repair.

Carefully inspect each liner seat area for signs of measurable erosion. Determine measurable erosion with an 8T-0455 Liner Projection Tool. Measurable erosion generally will destroy the milling mark pattern and exhibit a rough, pebbly surface. If erosion directly under the liner flange measures 0.25 mm (0.00984 inch) deep or more with the depth gauge.

Measurable erosion under the liner flange is permissible when the eroded area is not more than 0.25 mm (0.00984 inch) deep. Multiple areas of erosion are also permissible if depth does not exceed 0.25 mm (0.00984 inch) deep. These small areas of erosion under the liner flange are acceptable. Erosion is slowed when water seals and filler band are replaced. The liner flange is designed with sufficient rigidity to span those areas without affecting sealability of the head gasket. This erosion or fretting damage is acceptable if it does not affect liner projection.

Measuring the Deck Height



Illustration 28g06344961
(B) Bar
(C) End Plate

This process will measure the distance (X) from the top of the deck to the top of the bar. Radius (Y) of the bar should be added to dimension (A) to get the distance from the head deck to the center of the bore of the main bearing. Measure the diameter of your specific bar and then use half of that dimension for the radius (Y).

For example, your specific bar could have a measured diameter of 38.100 mm (1.50000 inch). In this case, your radius (Y) dimension would be 19.05 mm (0.75000 inch).



Illustration 29g02151740
INCORRECT method of placing the end of the depth gage onto the bar.


Illustration 30g02151678
CORRECT method of placing the end of the depth gage onto the bar.

Special care should be taken when you place the foot of the depth gauge onto the bar. The foot of the depth gauge should be perpendicular to the bar, as shown in Illustration 30. Doing so will ensure that the foot of the depth gauge is resting on the TOP of the bar. If the foot of the depth gauge was resting parallel to the bar, the foot could be slightly off center and lead to incorrect measurements.

Store the bar in a protective cover, such as a piece of PVC pipe. One end of the PVC pipe should have a glued on cap and the other end of the PVC pipe should have a removable cap. The PVC pipe can also be left on the bar when you are sliding the bar through the engine block to prevent nicks and other damage to the bar.

Use the following procedure to measure the head deck height.

    Using a second person to aid in the installation of the bar into the second end plate

  1. Slide the bar (3) out of the PVC pipe (2) enough so that you can install the proper end plate (4). Secure the proper end plate (4) onto the bar with the bolt and washer (5). Slide the bar with the PVC pipe still attached through the engine block. You will need to use a second person to aid in the installation of the bar through the engine block.

    Note: Each of the end plates will be marked "FRONT" or "REAR". The end plates will also be marked "TOP". Make sure that the correct end plate is used on the proper side of the engine and each end plate is oriented correctly.

  2. Position the end plate over the dowels on the end of the engine block. The end plates fit snug over the dowels but the end plates can be installed by hand.


    Illustration 34g02154251

  3. Remove the PVC pipe and install the other end plate onto the engine. Install the other bolt and washer (4). Tighten the bolt hand tight.

  4. Make sure that no burrs are present around the edges of the head deck surface or around the opening for the cylinder liner. Remove any burrs that may be present.

  5. Position the depth gauge over the cylinder opening. The depth gauge should be vertically and horizontally centered, as shown.

  6. Extend the foot of the depth gauge onto the bar. Make sure the foot of the depth gauge is perpendicular to the bar, as shown.


    Illustration 37g02154278

  7. Record the measurement. Then, add the measured radius of the bar to the reading on the depth gauge. This will be the length from the head deck surface to the centerline of the crankshaft bearings.

    For example. You may have measured 400.05 mm (15.749 inch) on the depth gauge. The radius of the bar may have been determined to be 19.05 mm (0.750 inch). Your head deck measurement for that specific cylinder would then be 419.1 mm (16.500 inch).

  8. Take a measurement for each cylinder and record all the values.

Determining How Much Material Should be Removed from the Head Deck

Use the following example for determining how much material can be removed from the head deck. The following information is only an example for a C15 engine block and your specific engine block will vary.



Illustration 40g06344968
Cross sectional view of a C15 Engine Block.
The Dimensions shown are in INCHES.

The values that are shown in Illustration 40 were determined for each specific cylinder. These values represent the distance from the centerline of the crankshaft to the surface of the head deck. These values are only examples.

The shortest distance that was measured according to Illustration 40 is 425.39 mm (16.748 inch). You could machine up to 0.10 mm (0.004 inch) from the surface of the head deck and still be within the factory specifications.

The engine block could have as much as 0.3810 mm (0.015 inch) and still meet the minimum specifications that are listed.

Perform multiple passes over the head deck surface, taking off minimal material per pass. The first pass should remove approximately 0.025 mm (0.001 inch) below the lowest point that was measured. Then, you can use a feeler gauge and a straight edge at the areas that did not clean up to determine how much more material needs to be removed.

Only the area of the head deck that is covered by the gasket needs to be cleaned up by machining. If pitting remains in the area of the head deck (X) that is not covered by the gasket, it is not necessary to perform additional machining to remove the pitting.

Installation of Stress Plate for C7 Engines

Note: The stress plate is only used when measuring the bores and when hard honing. It is NOT to be used when boring the cylinders.

If the dimensions of a cylinder, or cylinders, is to be accurately measured with a 125-2064 or 142-2285 Cylinder Head Stress Plate for (C7 Engines) and a STANDARD thickness cylinder head gasket must be installed over each cylinder that is to be measured.

Table 8
Stress Plate Part Numbers 
Engine  Stress Plate  Stress Plate Group 
C7  142-2285  125-2064 

The correct installation of the STANDARD thickness cylinder head gasket, stress plate group or cylinder head stress plate, and cylinder head bolts will cause the cylinder bore to distort and have the same dimensions that it would have if the cylinder head was installed and properly tightened. Refer to Table 8 for stress plate group or cylinder head stress plate part numbers.

The gasket and stress plate must be installed to accurately measure the cylinder sleeve. If a stress plate group is used, it must be installed over each cylinder

  2. Position stress plate (1) over cylinder head gasket (4).

  3. Install (original) cylinder head bolts (2) through the stress plate into cylinder block.

  4. Initially tighten all bolts (2) evenly to 150 ± 15 N·m (110 ± 11 lb ft).

  5. Finish tightening all bolts (2) evenly to 435 ± 20 N·m (320 ± 15 lb ft).

Measuring and Cleaning Cylinder Bores

Measuring the Cylinder Bores



Illustration 45g01402413
1P-3537 Dial Bore Gauge Group


Illustration 46g06238831

Measure the cylinder bore parallel to the crankshaft. Measure the cylinder bore at a right angle to the crankshaft. Measure the cylinder bore at the top, the middle, and the bottom. The areas of the cylinder bore that receives the most wear is at the top and the bottom of ring travel.

Be sure that the gauge pin has sufficient travel to measure the points of maximum wear in the bore. In a cylinder bore, the maximum wear is usually across the diameter that is perpendicular to the centerline of the crankshaft, either at the top or the bottom of ring travel.

Use the 1P-3537 Dial Bore Gauge for the actual measurement. This group includes a 1P-3535 Dial Bore Gauge and a 1P-3536 Size Setting Fixture. Special Instruction, GMG00981, "Using 1P-3537 Dial Bore Gauge Group to Check Cylinder Bore Size".

C7 engines will require a 125-2064 or 142-2285 Cylinder Head Stress Plate and a STANDARD thickness cylinder head gasket must be installed over each cylinder that is to be measured.

Cleaning the Cylinder Bores

Honing Parent Cylinder Bores for C7 Engines

Make sure that the following preliminary check is made to determine if honing is necessary. Determine if honing is necessary, and if the bore's size allows honing. If the bore measures less than the maximum diameter, honing is possible. If the bore measures more than the maximum diameter, a sleeve must be installed.

The bore size determines the necessity of honing the bores or installing sleeves. Refer to Table 10 for honing limits.

Table 10
Honing Dimensions for the Cylinder 
Description  C7 
New cylinder bore diameter  110.025 + 0.025 - 0.010 mm (4.3317 + 0.0010 - 0.00039 inch) 
Limitations of the Flexible Hone  110.000 mm (4.3307 inch) to 110.130 mm (4.3358 inch) 
Limitations of the Rigid Hone  110.131 mm (4.3359 inch) to 110.229 mm (4.3397 inch) 

Cylinder bores which have at least 75% of crosshatch scratch pattern and only light vertical scratches can be restored by flexible honing of the cylinder bores.

Cylinder bores with less than 75% of the original pattern of the crosshatch should be reconditioned.

C7 bores that are larger than 110.229 mm (4.3397 inch) require a 107-7604 Cylinder Sleeve.

Note: Honing is not recommended on any engine that is restricted by emissions.

If honing is performed on an engine that is not restricted by emissions, oil consumption, wear, and blow by should be considered.

Cylinder reconditioning with flexible hones establishes cylinder wall finish and provides good oil control if done correctly, it also good for deglazing the walls of cylinders that are not out-of-round. The 125-2064 or 142-2285 Cylinder Head Stress Plate for (C7 Engines) is not used when the flexible honing operation is performed.



Illustration 48g01687075
(A) 6.40 mm (0.25197 inch) from each end of the cylinder bore
(B) Center measurement location.

When using rigid bar honing, check the bore size at several locations. Be sure to check locations over the length of the bore and around the circumference. Measure the points that are perpendicular to the centerline of the crankshaft. These points are located (A) 6.40 mm (0.25197 inch) from each end and at the center of the bore. These specific locations are primary gauge positions during honing. Use the 125-2064 or 142-2285 Cylinder Head Stress Plate for (C7 Engines) during rigid bar honing.



    Illustration 49g03682143
    Flexible hone use to condition the cylinder bores prior to piston installation.

  1. Use a flexible hone that has 240 grit abrasive on the tips. Caterpillar provides a 4C-6336 Flexible Hone (Flex-Hone) used for C7 Engines.

  2. Apply a light solvent or kerosene for lubrication. Do not use engine lubricating oil.

  3. While operating the hone, move up and down the liner at a rate of approximately 30 strokes per minutes, one stroke being one complete cycle up and down. (This rate would be one second down and one second up).

  4. Vary the stroke rate as necessary to achieve the correct crosshatch angle (140±10°). If the crosshatch is much less than 140°, decrease the number of strokes per minute or increase the rpm of the drill. If the pattern is too flat (greater than 140°), increase the number of strokes per minute or decrease the speed of the drill.

A new flexible hone should restore the surface in approximately 30 seconds. Flexible hone that is worn out will not cut deep enough and the surface will be too smooth and shiny. An adjacent cylinder can be used as a reference for the correct crosshatch pattern.

Installing a 107–7604 Cylinder Sleeve for C7 Engines

The The 107-7604 Cylinder Sleeve is available for C7 Engines. Use the cylinder sleeves when it is determined that the existing cylinder wall(s) are not reusable because of wear, pin holes, cracks, or scoring.

Inspect the cylinder block carefully to be sure it is still usable. If sleeves are to be installed, use the procedure given in this Guideline.

If the dimension of a cylinder, or cylinders, is to be accurately measured, a 125-2064 or 142-2285 Cylinder Head Stress Plate for (C7 Engines) and a STANDARD thickness cylinder head gasket must be installed over each cylinder that is to be measured.

    Illustration 51g01360198
    Measuring cylinder bore wall thickness with 93028 Digital Disc Brake Caliper

  1. Use the 93028 Digital Disc Brake Caliper to measure the wall thickness at the front of each cylinder 30.0 mm (1.18110 inch) below the head face of the block. Measure the block by putting the thin leg of the caliper through the water passage between the cylinders. If the minimum wall thickness on any cylinder is less than 4.3 mm (0.16929 inch), replace the block.

  2. If the cylinder block passes Step 1, follow the procedure to install a sleeves in the bores that are not within factory specifications.

    1. Check the diameter at locations (M), Illustration 62), 6.4 mm (0.25197 inch), from each end of the sleeve.

    2. Check the diameter at the center of the sleeve, location (N), Illustration 62.

  6. After the honing cycle is completed and before the engine is assembled, remove the camshaft bearings to permit cleaning of the cylinder block.

Glaze

Glazing produces a brown color on the surface of the cylinder wall.

Glazing can be caused by honing stones that are not cutting correctly or honing stones which are overheating. Overheating causes the honing oil to oxidize and transfer the residue into the cylinder wall.

Inspect the tooling to make sure that the honing stones are seated correctly in the holders. The honing stones must also be used with the recommended volume and type of honing oil.

Make sure the recommended Stock Removal Rate, Honing Per 0.03 mm (0.00118 inch) Stock Removal, and Advance Feed settings are correct for the tooling being used. Refer to Table 11 and 8.

Burnish

Burnish is when the cylinder walls have a smooth finish or shiny surface, but there are areas of the bore that have not been honed correctly.

Burnishing can be caused by honing stones that are not in even contact with the cylinder wall.

Inspect to make sure that the honing stones are seated correctly in the holders. Check for even wear of the honing stones and make sure that the tooling is correctly aligned.

Cleaning the Cylinder Bore

After the honing procedure is completed and before the engine is assembled, remove the camshaft bearings and clean the cylinder block.


NOTICE

The result of incomplete and/or insufficient cleaning of the cylinder block will be piston seizure or rapid wear of the cylinder sleeve bores, pistons and piston rings.

Only the thorough use of a rotary brush will correctly remove the abrasive particles left behind from the honing procedure.


Use a 1P-5580 Brush with a strong detergent and water solution to thoroughly clean the cylinder block, the main oil gallery and oil supply passage, the camshaft bearing oil passages, and the cylinder bores.

The cylinder block must be thoroughly cleaned in an agitator-type cleaning tank.



Illustration 63g06338340
1U-7429 Nylon Brush is used to clean the cylinder bores after honing.

Note: Use the 1U-7429 Nylon Brush to clean the honed bore of the cylinder sleeve. Put clean SAE 30W engine oil on all machined surfaces after the cleaning procedure is completed.

Keep a protective cover on the cylinder block until final assembly.

Inspection of Spacer Plates

During visual inspection of spacer plates, they may appear damaged even though the operation of the engine has been normal. Signs of corrosion and erosion may appear to be severe, whereas most the time the spacer plate can be used again. Many times corrosion and erosion damage are the results of improperly maintained cooling systems.

A used and/or reconditioned spacer block must be inspected for corrosion or erosion damage to the liner bore, the bottom O-ring sealing surfaces, and the cylinder head mounting surfaces. Spacer plates must also be inspected for handling damage, flatness, and thickness.

(4) Large bolt holes
(5) Small bolt holes
(6) Locating dowel holes for assembly

Initial Inspection

Visually inspect the spacer plate for bending, scratches, deep cuts, heat, and impact damage before cleaning. Do not reuse any spacer plate that contains the following:

  • Cracks with spalling of material

  • Burnt paths from exhaust gas leakage with measurable width and depth

General Inspection Procedure

Follow the instructions in this guideline to determine reusability of the spacer plate.

  1. Visually inspect the general condition of the spacer plate for obvious damage.

  2. Clean the spacer plate thoroughly.

  3. Visually inspect the spacer plate for cracks, corrosion, erosion, handling damage, and other damage after cleaning the spacer plate. Be sure to check both sides of the spacer plate. If any of this damage is present, do not reuse the spacer plate.

Cleaning Methods

The spacer plate should be cleaned after the initial inspection. Cleaning the spacer plate aids in the thorough inspection of the spacer plate.

3400 Engines can use a die cast aluminum spacer plate. The aluminum spacer plate weighs less than the steel spacer plate. Caution must be used when an aluminum spacer plate is being cleaned. Xylene solvent and Scotch Brite pads are recommended materials for cleaning the plate.

Do not use the following methods for cleaning aluminum plates:

  • Aluminum oxide

  • Wire brush

  • Sanding or Scraping

The recommended materials for removing PTFE residue and carbon are xylene solvent or Scotch-Brite cleaning pads.

The following methods are also acceptable for cleaning the steel spacer plate:

  • Aluminum oxide

  • Wire brush or wire wheel

  • Scraping or sanding

Glass beads can be used to clean the spacer plates. Change the glass beads and check the nozzle regularly for best results. Use the following specifications for glass beads:

  • Size 10 glass beads.

  • 0.088 mm to 0.149 mm (0.0035 inch to 0.0059 inch)

  • 550 kPa to 620 kPa (80.0 psi to 90.0 psi) air pressure

Note: Do not use glass beads that are larger than 0.23 mm (0.009 inch) to clean the spacer plate. Large glass beads may damage the spacer plate.

Plate Thickness for 3400 and C15 - C32 Engines

The thickness of the spacer plate should be 8.585 ± 0.025 mm (0.3380 ± 0.0010 inch). The thickness may vary up to 0.025 mm (0.0010 inch).

Note: If the spacer plate has erosion do not reuse the spacer plate.

Areas outside the area of gasket contact on the spacer plate may have depressions on the surface that are 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) deep and 6.0 mm (0.24 inch) in diameter. This is applicable to both sides of the spacer plate. No raised material is allowed. No depressions are allowed within 6.0 mm (0.24 inch) of the edge of the spacer plate.

The 0.025 mm (0.0010 inch) maximum variation of thickness does not apply to the depressed areas.

Inspection for 3176 Spacer Plates



Illustration 75g06344251
Minimum thickness and surface flatness.
(7) Camshaft bore
(A) Thickness measurement of 99.95 mm (3.93503 inch)
(B) Flatness specification of 0.05 mm (0.00197 inch) or less per 150 mm (5.90550 inch)

Before the spacer block is removed, check liner projection and flatness. If these dimensions are correct, there is no reason to measure the spacer block.

Measure the spacer block for thickness and flatness. When measuring the spacer block for flatness, use the procedures described in SEHS9540Special Instruction, "3176 Cylinder Head Gasket Repair Procedure" to secure the spacer block to the cylinder block.

To check flatness, use a feeler gauge and 150 mm (5.90550 inch) metal scale. The thickness should be measured at each cylinder liner bore and each end of the spacer block.

Top Land of Cylinder Liner Bore



Illustration 76g06344262
Erosion damage to the top land surface.

Use Again - if erosion is less than 270° around the diameter of the bore and the erosion is less than 0.8 mm (0.03150 inch) deep.

Erosion on the top land diameter, as shown in Illustration 76, is allowed. Normally, if erosion damage is present on the top land surface, there will be additional damage to the area inside the cylinder liner water jacket.

Corrosion Above Seal Land



Illustration 77g06344272
Corrosion which occurred during engine storage.

Use Again

The corrosion shown in Illustration 77 occurred during engine storage and prior to installation. There is no evidence that this type of damage will progress any further during normal operation of the engine. Cleaning is not necessary unless the spacer block has been removed from the engine and is being cleaned for other reasons. After cleaning, cosmetic repairs can be made using a composite material if the corrosion is deeper than 0.8 mm (0.03150 inch).

Erosion to Water Jacket Surface



Illustration 78g06344278
Erosion damage showing signs of early problems in the cooling system.

Use Again



Illustration 79g06344282
More severe erosion due to problems in the cooling system.

Damage to lower land and erosion with a path completely across the seal bore.
(4) Seal surface
(5) Liner seal surface
(6) Lower land

Use Again - after repairing the damage to the seal bore.

The lower land (6) is a non-functional surface; therefore, erosion in this area is acceptable.

If erosion has progressed completely across liner seal surface (5) and is less than 0.8 mm (0.03150 inch) deep, the spacer plate can be used again. If severe erosion is present on the seal surface (4), the bore must be repaired with a composite type material or metal spray. The bore must then be machined.

Head Gasket Surfaces

Use Again



Illustration 82g06344315
Pitting has occurred inside of a gasket hole but does not progress across the area covered by the gasket.

Use Again

It is not necessary to remove all residual black gasket coating material from the spacer plate. However, gasket material should be removed near the area around the liner bore to accurately measure liner projection. Clean the surface of the spacer block lightly with a hand-held Scotch Brite pad. Do not use heavy strokes with the pad. Do not use power tools or sharp tools such as chisels and screwdrivers on any machined surfaces.



Illustration 83g06344319
Black gasket compound on the surface of the spacer plate.

Use Again - after removing the gasket compound.

Impact Damage

Impact damage which creates a path between any bolt hole or water/oil passage cannot be used again unless first repaired. Filling the damaged area and eliminating possible leakage paths can be done with a composite material. Any raised material must be carefully removed with a flat file. Do not over-clean the surface.

After any repairs have been made to the top and/or bottom surfaces, the spacer block must be measured for flatness while it is bolted to the cylinder block. Measure the flatness of the spacer block using a straight edge and feeler gauge. The block must be flat within 0.05 mm (0.00197 inch). If not, the spacer block must be replaced or repaired.



Illustration 84g06344323
Indentation which connects two holes or passages.

Use Again - after repairing the damage.

Use Again

The damage shown in Illustration 85 is minor and does not contact or connect any coolant passages. Carefully remove any raised material with a flat file. Do not damage the gasket sealing surfaces and maintain the flatness of the spacer plate.

Erosion Damage Around Fluid Passages

Any erosion damage which provides a path for fluids to leak from one passage to another or from a passage to the outside of the spacer plate cannot be used again. This type of erosion produces leakage paths which cannot be sealed by head gaskets. If the erosion damage can be corrected and the spacer plate meets thickness and flatness specifications, it can be used again.

Over-cleaning of the top or bottom surfaces will also provide a leakage path by polishing (removing metal). It can produce a low spot or path from the sealing area to an outside surface of the spacer plate.



Illustration 86g06344330
Erosion and pitting is isolated and does not connect any passages.

Twinsert Installation Procedure

Note: Do not repair the holes using the 4C-8451 Heli-Coil Insert Package (M8 x 1.25 x 12 mm long) which is offered in the Cat system. These inserts are a different length, and are intended for single-insert thread repair only; they must not be used in place of the 135-7636 Twinserts.

This procedure is used to repair M8 x 1.25 tapped holes in the spacer deck.

  1. Carefully inspect for damaged holes. If required, remove any debris, old Heli-Coil insert, or pieces from the hole using needle nose pliers or a seal pick.

  2. Measure the hole to determine the depth. Use a 1U-8168 Drill Bit to drill a 10 mm (0.39370 inch) diameter hole to the original depth of either 12.0 mm (0.47244 inch) or 16.0 mm (0.62992 inch).

  3. Tap the hole to original depth using the special 135-7639 Tap.

  4. Install a 135-7631 12.0 mm (0.47244 inch) or a 140-9745 16.0 mm (0.62992 inch) Outer Insert (larger diameter) using 135-7637 Installation Tool.

  5. Break off the outer insert driving tang, using a 135-7638 Break-Off Tool.


    Illustration 89g06344339

Position inner insert (2) so the end coil of the inner insert is flush with the end coil of outer insert (1), as shown in Illustration 89.

  7. Break off the inner insert driving tang using a rod or punch slightly smaller than the minor thread diameter. The completed assembly will provide a Class 2B fit

  8. Several utility boxes in the Cat system, such as 4C-3725 or 4C-4783 Plastic Divided Utility Box, are useful for organizing and storing installation tools and Twinsert packages.

Dimensions for the Aluminum Washer

The aluminum spacer plate on some 3408 and 3412 engines has been modified. The plates now provide adequate material around the oil supply holes to the rocker arms for the O-Ring seal. The holes were counterbored from the bottom side only to accept an aluminum washer. This aluminum washer is not available for parts service. The spacer plate was machined to provide a press fit for the washer. Table contains the dimensions for machining the washers.

Table 17
Dimensions of the Aluminum Washer 
Description  Dimension 
Thickness  3.7 ± 0.025 mm (0.14567 ± 0.00098 inch) 
Outside Diameter  27 ± 0.025 mm (1.06299 ± 0.00098 inch) 
Inside Diameter  9.9 ± 2.5 mm (0.38976 ± 0.09843 inch) 

Note: Clean the counterbore in the spacer plate before installing a new aluminum washer. Do not use adhesive.

Application of Sealant to Spacer Plate Gasket

The spacer plate gasket should be coated with Loctite® #1522029 Aviation Gasket Sealant before installation. The spacer plate gasket is a single layer gasket and care should be taken to prevent damage to the gasket. Damaged gaskets will not seal correctly causing leaks. Gloves should be worn while applying Loctite® #1522029 Aviation Gasket Sealant to the spacer plate gasket. Obtain a small roller to help spread the Loctite® #1522029 Aviation Gasket Sealant out evenly across the spacer plate gasket. The following steps will help detail applying Loctite® #1522029 Aviation Gasket Sealant to the spacer plate gasket.

To provide addition clarification and details, a Caterpillar Channel 1 video has been created outlining the critical steps in applying gasket sealant. Reviewing the videos is recommended prior to starting the process.

If the liner projection measurements are below the specifications, a thinner spacer plate can be used. The thinner spacer plate should also be installed if the liner projection measurements are low within a range. These plates are 0.076 mm (0.0030 inch) thinner than the regular plate. These plates will increase the liner projection. The crush of the fire ring will be increased. Use these spacer plates to compensate for low liner projections that are less than 0.076 mm (0.0030 inch). Use these spacer plates if the inspection of the head deck reveals no measurable damage directly under the liner flanges but the average liner projection is less than 0.076 mm (0.0030 inch).

Do not exceed the maximum liner projection of 0.152 mm (0.006 inch). The excessive liner projection will contribute to cracking of the liner flange.

When the liner projection is correct, put a temporary mark on the liner and the spacer plate. Set the liners aside.

Note: Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Cylinder Liner - Install" for the correct final installation procedure for the cylinder liners.

Installing Liner Seat Inserts on the Head Deck for 3176, 3300, 3400 and C-Series Engines

Inserts for the head deck are available if the top of the area for the cylinder liner seat contains erosion. Erosion can be caused by heat, exhaust gases, or coolant that leaked around the liner seal. The inserts fit into a counterbore of the cylinder bore. The counterbore must be machined into the cylinder bore. The top of the insert will have enough clearance above the head deck of the cylinder block to provide the correct liner projection.

Note: Head deck inserts are not to be used as shims. Shims are available to correct liner projection.

Type 1 Inserts

The design of Type 1 inserts and the size of the counterbore give the insert a slip (loose) fit in the cylinder block unless otherwise noted in Table 24.

The following specifications apply:

  1. If the block is being machined in chassis cover all open bores to the crankshaft, lifter bores (if applicable), oil passages, etc. Care should be taken not to contaminate the cylinder block with machining chips. Use plastic plugs to cover the crankshaft and oil passages.

  2. Using the 9U-7990 Counterbore Tool machine the cylinder block. Use a depth gauge to measure progress when nearing the depth needed to install the thinnest insert. Reduce machine depth to 0.025 mm (0.001 inch) per cut until reaching the final depth.

  3. The counterbore should be machined into the block according to the dimensions that are given in Table 24.

  4. Measure the machined counterbore in four places to ensure that it is level. Check to see that it is also free of tool chatter marks. If there are chatter marks the counterbore must be machined to remove the chatter marks.

  5. If the counterbore has been cut correctly, the top of the insert will be even or within 0.0127 mm (0.00050 inch) of the head surface of the cylinder block to give the necessary projection for the cylinder liner.

    For insert part numbers 5P-4173, 5P-4174, 108-1068, 361-5417, and 497-9209 the top of the insert will be even or within 0.0254 mm (0.00100 inch).

  6. If counterboring to the depth of the thinnest insert does not clean up 100 percent of the erosion/crack damage, machine to the depth of the next insert.

  7. When machining is complete, deburr both edges of the counterbore with emery paper or #400 wet-dry sandpaper. Use a wet-dry vacuum to remove cuttings from cylinder bores, water jacket, and head bolt holes. Remove plastic bore plugs, foam inserts, paper towels, tape, and all other protective covers.

  8. If necessary, run threaded tap down head bolt holes to remove burrs and thoroughly clean out head bolt holes. Wash down cylinder block with solvent and use pressure air to ensure block/crankshaft/lifter bore cleanliness.

  9. Thoroughly clean the insert and the counterbore with a lint free towel and isopropyl alcohol, until all oils and debris are removed and nothing more comes off onto a clean section of the towel.

  10. Ensure that inserts are cleaned prior to freezing, lower the temperature of the insert to −80° C (−112° F) to ease in assembly.

  11. For in chassis repair, the use of Loctite® 7649 Activator can be applied to decrease cure time but will reduce the strength of the joint.

  12. Install inserts dry (no sealant) with chamfer facing down. Do not apply adhesive to the counterbore or to the insert. For insert part numbers 5P-4173, 5P-4174, 108-1068, 361-5417, and 497-9209, apply Loctite® 620 to the lower end of the counter bore and press the insert into position. Refer to "Procedure for 5P-4173, 5P-4174, 108-1068, 361-5417, 497-9209 Inserts Out of Chassis".

  13. Machine the seat for the liner. The maximum permissible difference between four equally spaced measurements on one cylinder liner is 0.05 mm (0.00197 inch).

  14. The maximum permissible difference between the average projection of all cylinder liners under one head is 0.1 mm (0.00394 inch).

    For insert part numbers 8N-6150, 8N-6742, 8N-6938, and 8N-6939, if liner projection exceeds 0.20 mm (0.00787 inch), remove insert and increase counterbore depth by the difference between the measured projection and 0.15 mm (0.00591 inch).

  15. The maximum permissible difference between the average projection of any adjacent cylinders next to each other is 0.05 mm (0.00197 inch).

    For insert part numbers 8N-6150, 8N-6742, 8N-6938, and 8N-6939 the liner projection should not vary by more than 0.03 mm (0.00118 inch) on adjacent cylinders.

The following specifications apply:

  1. The counterbore should be machined into the block according to the dimensions that are given in Table 26.

  2. Thoroughly clean the insert and the counterbore with a lint free towel and isopropyl alcohol, until all oils and debris are removed and nothing more comes off onto a clean section of the towel.

  3. Ensure that inserts are cleaned prior to freezing, lower the temperature of the insert to −80° C (−112° F) to ease in assembly.

  4. For in chassis repair, the use of Loctite® 7649 Activator can be applied to decrease cure time but will reduce the strength of the joint.

  5. Apply RTV sealant to the entire lower counterbore seat. Only apply to the lower seat only. For insert part numbers 5P-0936, 5P-0937, and 5P-1620, 5P-1621, 5P-1622, 5P-1623, 5P-1624, and 5P-1625, apply Loctite® 620 to the counterbore.

  6. For insert part numbers 1W-6265, 1W-6266, and 1W-6267, install 6V-5098 O-Ring Seal in insert seal groove.

    Note: A small amount of RTV sealant may be used to retain seal in groove during assembly.

  7. Press the insert into position. Do not drive. Allow sufficient time for excess sealant to escape before releasing press.

    Note: Inserts are pressed into the counterbore not driven.

  8. Machine the seat for the liner. Obtain a liner projection of 0.10 mm (0.004 inch) to 0.20 mm (0.008 inch.) above the block face.

  9. The liner projection should not vary more than 0.03 mm (0.001 inch) between adjacent cylinders.

  2. Remove all the nicks and high spots from around the counterbore and from the head deck.


    Illustration 110g01369248

  3. Thoroughly clean the insert and the counterbore with a lint free towel and isopropyl alcohol, until all oils and debris are removed and nothing more comes off onto a clean section of the towel.

    Dry the surfaces with clean dry air, verify that counterbore is dry.

    Note: There cannot be any foreign material in the counterbore or on the insert.



    Illustration 111g01387797

  4. Ensure the tip of the Loctite® bottle is clean and liberally apply Loctite® 620 around 100% of the counterbore surface only, there should be no dry area of the counter bore wall after application.

    Note: Do not apply Loctite® on insert and install within 2 minutes of applying the Loctite® to the counterbore. This time limit will ensure the Loctite does not harden before the insert is fully pressed into the counterbore.



    Illustration 112g01387798

  5. Ensure that inserts are cleaned prior to freezing, lower the temperature of the insert to −80° C (−112° F) to ease in assembly.

  6. Using clean gloves lift the insert with both hands, with the chamfer toward the cylinder block, install insert until it bottoms on the counterbore step. Push down and rotate 10 to 20° until insert cannot be moved by hand.


    Illustration 113g01387799

  7. Install installer when the insert stops moving by hand, within 2 minutes maximum. This will assure insert is pressed squarely into the counter-bore and fully seated. Ensure that the insert is fully seated against the block and held in that position for at least 5 minutes. Refer to Illustration 113 for the installer.

  8. The Loctite® should extrude along the entire inner circumference of the bore between the insert and the bottom of the counterbore.

    Note: If the Loctite® is not extruded along the entire circumference, then the insert must be removed and the installation procedure must be repeated with a new insert.

  9. Remove the excess Loctite® using a clean lint free towel.

  10. Allow at least 8 hours for curing before proceeding to final machining and wash operations.

  11. First machine flush with the head deck, make sure that the repair insert has zero movement relative to the block.

Measuring and Inspection

Carefully inspect the lifter bore for wear patterns. The bore must have a normal wear pattern and the diameter of the bore must be 29.555 mm (1.1636 inch) or less to be reused. If the bore is larger than 29.555 mm (1.1636 inch) or showing irregular wear, it must be machined and have the 466-2803 Sleeve.

A bore with only a rough surface can be used again after the surface is made smooth with a honing stone or crocus cloth. Remove the rough sections with crocus cloth or by honing. The bores are ready to be used again as long as they are not larger than 29.555 mm (1.1636 inch).

Visual Inspection

Use the bore again if the diameter of the bore is 29.555 mm (1.1636 inch) or less.



Illustration 142g03817527
An example of normal wear in the bore. The original machining marks are still visible.

A damaged bore must be salvaged by the installation of a 466-2803 Sleeve before the bore can be reused. Illustration 143 shows a damaged bore.

Lock-n-Stitch repair kits are available from Caterpillar. The kits are used to repair single failures that are caused by a connecting rod. The kits are also used to repair cracks that are in a casting. These repairs should not be made in structural areas. The repair method that is utilized can achieve a permanent repair. The detailed instructions and the part numbers for the kits can be found in the Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8882, "Using Lock-n-Stitch Procedures for Casting Repair".

Head Deck Threaded Hole Repair In 3400 Engines

The threaded holes in the head deck of cylinder blocks can be damaged during an engine rebuild. Damaged threads can cause improper torque of the head bolts, resulting in possible failure. Using this threaded insert repair procedure, bolt holes can be repaired to "like new" condition. Use this guideline as the only source of reference when installing the Kent- Moore® threaded insert.

To repair stripped or cracked head bolt holes, use the PT-2801 Porta-Thread Basic Kit, with the PT-2801-3 Service Kit. A thin-wall solid steel insert with a sealed bottom prevents coolant leakage from the cylinder head bolt holes. This insert can often repair cracked blocks that, until now, would be scrapped.

Cylinder block repair is made easy using a base plate and drill jig to maintain perfect alignment during reaming and tapping operations.

Oil Pump Mounting Pad on 3406B, 3406C, 3406E, C15, and C-15 Engines

The mounting pad for the oil pump on the cylinder block can break when objects become trapped between the oil pump drive gears. In many cases, this method of retaining the oil pump housing can be used instead of replacing the cylinder block. This method can be used only if 40 % or more of the oil pump mounting pad can be supported on the broken cylinder block mounting pad.

Flame Spray and Arc Spray

If the top contact surface needs to be milled to remove any damage, the measurements must be within original specifications. If the damage is not removed and the measurement is not within original specifications, the cylinder block will need to be welded up to original specifications. Use the following process to build the cylinder block up to original specifications.

Note: Wear a pair of clean cotton gloves when you handle the cylinder block. Contaminants will not allow the thermal spray to bond properly.



    Illustration 219g06238572

  1. Mill the cylinder block to a minimum of 0.51 mm (0.020 inch) below the lower limit on the tolerance.


    Illustration 220g06238588

  2. Apply a 1.5 mm (0.06 inch) chamfer to all the edges of the cylinder block. Use a die grinder for the straight edges. Use an air drill and a chamfer tool for the holes.


    Illustration 221g06238589

  3. Plug all the threaded holes. Plug the cylinder bores.

  4. Degrease the head deck of the cylinder block.


    Illustration 222g06238593

  5. Shot blast the head deck of the cylinder block immediately prior to the application of thermal spray. The head deck of the cylinder block should have a roughness of 5.1 µm to 7.6 µm (200.00 µinch to 300.00 µinch).


    Illustration 223g06238595

  6. Preheat the cylinder block to an approximate temperature of 93 °C (200.0 °F).


    Illustration 224g06238596

  7. Apply the thermal spray 0.64 mm (0.025 inch) above the upper limit on the tolerance. Apply the thermal spray in several thin layers.

  8. Mill the thermal spray so that the height of the cylinder block is between the nominal dimension and the upper limit.

    Note: The weld must have a minimum thickness of 0.38 mm (0.015 inch) to avoid flaking.

For additional information, refer to "Thermal Spray Procedures for Head Surface Deck".

Thermal Spray Procedures for Head Surface Deck

Spraying Under Top Supported Liner

Listed below are the arc and flame spray procedures for providing a sufficient thermal spray coating on head decks. Based on complexity and process variables, arc spray is the preferred technology for this process.

Arc spray is the only validated and approved process for spraying under top supported liner flanges. Flame spray should only be used for deck height recovery with the use of inserts under the liner flanges.

Arc Spray Equipment and Procedure

Substrate Temperature During Spraying Not to Exceed  148°C (300°F) 
Surface Preparation Method  Grit blast - If the entire mating surface is to be arc sprayed, some shops prefer to pre-machine the surface. This process removes any major damage, allows for a recommended minimum 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) coating, reduces technique dependency in producing an even coating, and can reduce material cost and finish machining time. 
Precautions and care must be taken to properly mask and remove all grit from block surface and cavities.
Time between surface preparation and thermal spray application should be minimal. Allowing excessive time between preparation and thermal spray will result in unacceptable coating performance.

Storage Procedures

Proper protection of the cylinder block from corrosion is important. Corrosion will start in as little as one hour after the cylinder block has been cleaned.

When the cylinder block will not be inspected for one hour or less the cylinder block should be coated with a rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil. The cylinder block should be individually wrapped to prevent contamination, and should be stored in a protected area to avoid damage. See Illustration 230.

When the cylinder block will not be inspected in two days or more the cylinder block should be coated with a rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil and should be placed in a container which is clean and structurally solid. The container should be covered or wrapped in plastic to prevent damage and contamination to the cylinder block. See Illustration 231.

Refer to SEHS9031Special Instruction, "Storage Procedure for Caterpillar Products" for more information.
