Start By:

  1. Remove the rocker shaft assemblies and the pushrods. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Rocker Shaft and Pushrod - Remove".

  2. Remove the flywheel housing. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Flywheel Housing - Remove".

  3. Remove the front housing. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Housing (Front) - Remove".

  4. Remove the piston cooling jets. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Piston Cooling Jets - Remove and Install".


NOTICE

Failure to remove the rocker shaft assemblies and push rods can result in damaged valves when the pistons and connecting rods are pushed away from the crankshaft.

To help avoid damage to the valves, remove the rocker shaft assemblies and push rods before you remove the crankshaft.



NOTICE

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.


  1. Use Tooling (A) to turn the engine to a horizontal position. The engine can be supported with Tooling (A) or with blocks.

    • The weight of the 3516E Engine is approximately 9100 kg (20000 lb).

    Note: It is not necessary to remove the counterweights from the crankshaft, if the piston and connecting rod assemblies have been removed from the engine.

    Note: If the cylinder heads will not be removed from the engine, remove the electronic unit injectors. This will keep the pistons from contacting the injector tip when the piston move to the top of the cylinder.

  4. Attach Tooling (B) to each end of crankshaft (7). Attach a suitable lifting device to Tooling (B). The weight of the 3516E crankshaft is approximately 800 kg (1765 lb).

  5. Remove bolts (5) and main bearing caps (6).

  6. Remove thrust plates (8) from each side of the center main bearing.

  7. Remove crankshaft (7) from the cylinder block.

  8. Remove the upper halves of the main bearings from the cylinder block.

  9. Remove the upper halves of the connecting rod bearings from the connecting rods.
