Measurement Requirements
NOTICE |
---|
Precise measurements shall be made when the component and measurement equipment are at |
Initial Cleaning of the Engine
Illustration 3 | g06238164 |
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.
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.
Flatness of the Head Deck
Illustration 4 | g06337213 |
(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
Note: The
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 5 | g06337217 |
(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.
- Lubricate the bolt threads and the washer faces with clean engine oil.
- 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 6 | g06344335 |
Inspect the camshaft bores for wear and impact damage. |
Use Again
Illustration 7 | g06344258 |

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

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

Illustration 30 | g02151678 |
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.
- 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.
- 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.

Measuring and Cleaning Cylinder Bores
Measuring the Cylinder Bores
Illustration 45 | g01402413 |
|
Illustration 46 | g06238831 |
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".

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.

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.

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

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)
- 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.
- Apply a light solvent or kerosene for lubrication. Do not use engine lubricating oil.
- 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).
- 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.
Illustration 49 | g03682143 |
Flexible hone use to condition the cylinder bores prior to piston installation. |
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.

- 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
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 63 | g06338340 |
|
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.

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.
- Visually inspect the general condition of the spacer plate for obvious damage.
- Clean the spacer plate thoroughly.
- 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

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.

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

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.

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.
- 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.
- 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 either12.0 mm (0.47244 inch) or16.0 mm (0.62992 inch) . - Tap the hole to original depth using the special 135-7639 Tap.
- Install a
135-7631 12.0 mm (0.47244 inch) or a140-9745 16.0 mm (0.62992 inch) Outer Insert (larger diameter) using 135-7637 Installation Tool. - Break off the outer insert driving tang, using a 135-7638 Break-Off Tool.

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.

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.

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:
- 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.
- 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 to0.025 mm (0.001 inch) per cut until reaching the final depth. - The counterbore should be machined into the block according to the dimensions that are given in Table 24.
- 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.
- 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 , and497-9209 the top of the insert will be even or within0.0254 mm (0.00100 inch) . - 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Ensure that inserts are cleaned prior to freezing, lower the temperature of the insert to
−80° C (−112° F) to ease in assembly. - 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.
- 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 , and497-9209 , apply Loctite® 620 to the lower end of the counter bore and press the insert into position. Refer to "Procedure for5P-4173 ,5P-4174 ,108-1068 ,361-5417 ,497-9209 Inserts Out of Chassis". - 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) . - 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 , and8N-6939 , if liner projection exceeds0.20 mm (0.00787 inch) , remove insert and increase counterbore depth by the difference between the measured projection and0.15 mm (0.00591 inch) . - 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 , and8N-6939 the liner projection should not vary by more than0.03 mm (0.00118 inch) on adjacent cylinders.
Type 2 Inserts
The following specifications apply:
- The counterbore should be machined into the block according to the dimensions that are given in Table 26.
- 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.
- Ensure that inserts are cleaned prior to freezing, lower the temperature of the insert to
−80° C (−112° F) to ease in assembly. - 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.
- Apply RTV sealant to the entire lower counterbore seat. Only apply to the lower seat only. For insert part numbers
5P-0936 ,5P-0937 , and5P-1620 ,5P-1621 ,5P-1622 ,5P-1623 ,5P-1624 , and5P-1625 , apply Loctite® 620 to the counterbore. - For insert part numbers
1W-6265 ,1W-6266 , and1W-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.
- 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.
- Machine the seat for the liner. Obtain a liner projection of
0.10 mm (0.004 inch) to0.20 mm (0.008 inch.) above the block face. - The liner projection should not vary more than
0.03 mm (0.001 inch) between adjacent cylinders. - For insert part numbers
1W-6265 ,1W-6266 , and1W-6267 , machine small water holes that intersect block counterbore as required to accept 5N-8868 Seal Ferrule. - For insert part numbers
1W-6265 ,1W-6266 , and1W-6267 , machine large water holes to accept 5N-8869 Seal Ferrule. If wall thickness between insert bore and water hole is less than2.0 mm (0.07874 inch)

The area in the block where the seals are located can become corroded. The “Step Bore Operation” is the correct procedure to repair corrosion near the seals.
Procedure of Step Bore Operation
The lower liner bore can be salvaged using a standard liner sleeve or an oversized liner sleeve. The oversized sleeve allows for more material to be removed to salvage a damaged sleeved block or a non-sleeved block with greater than normal wear.
Note: If the block has already been sleeved, then inspect the block and sleeve area first. If the sleeved block can be reused as is, then do not remove the existing sleeve but reuse the block as is.

Turlock, CA -- 95380
209-632-2345
800-736-8261
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.

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.

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 |
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.
