Usage:
All 3500 Generator Set, Industrial, Vehicular ( 97Y, 51Y, 28Z ) and Spark-ignited Engines Equipped With Folded Core Radiators
Description of Change: The radiator fan guards on the three folded core radiators have been improved to provide stronger, integrated fan guards. The new fan guards now consist of two plates with the wire guards welded to the plates. The former fan guards consisted of four plates and two bolt-on wire guards.
The illustration shows a typical view of the new radiator fan guards for purposes of identification.

In addition, the rods used to form the "X" bracing in front of the radiator core have been removed. The radiator frame is rigid enough that the rods are not needed. The two larger radiator groups still have the corner blocks used to mount the rod supports for servicing the former radiators. The new version of the smaller radiator group no longer has the mounting blocks for the rod supports.
The braces for the top of the radiator have changed from two braces attached to the engine support rails to two braces attached to the engine water temperature regulator housing. These new rods are shorter and more rigid.
