Introduction

Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you have read the information and you understand the information.

Safety Section

Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards, including human factors that can affect safety. This person should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform these functions properly.

The information, specifications, and illustrations in this publication are based on information that was available at the time that the publication was written. The specifications, torques, pressures, measurements, adjustments, illustrations, and other items can change at any time. These changes can affect the service that is given to the product. Obtain the complete and most current information before you start any job. Cat dealers have the most current information available.


NOTICE

Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the machine. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Tools and Shop Products Guide", for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids in Caterpillar machines.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.


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

Do not open the high pressure fuel system without allowing the fuel system to purge. After the engine has shut down, allow the fuel system to purge for ten minutes. This operating fuel system contains high pressure. Exposure to high pressure fuel can result in personal injury.

Note: Do not remove the studs from the cylinder head.



Illustration 34g06187147

Note: Remove accumulator slowly out of the cylinder head. If prying is required to remove accumulator, ensure that a pry-bar or similar device only makes contact with the surface underneath the accumulator clamp.



Illustration 35g06187149

Cap the bottom of accumulator and place in a clean new resealable bag.

If necessary, use Tooling (B) to remove any rust scale from the outer rim of the accumulator bore.

Note: Surface does not have to be polished.

Carefully remove any remaining debris from the outer edge of the accumulator bore using a new lint-free towel moistened with brake cleaner.

Use Tooling (A) to plug the open accumulator bore in the cylinder head.

Note: If replacing accumulator at either cylinder #11 or #12, ensure that a new end plug and ball is available. Reuse of the end plug and ball in the accumulator is not recommended.

Note: If removing accumulator at either cylinder #11 or #12 for inspection only, do not remove the end plug.

Note: Use the following procedure to install camshaft drive gear (9) and camshaft drive gear (6).

Clean the taper of the camshaft and the tapered bore of the camshaft drive gear with a lint free cloth saturated with solvent to remove oil. Clean the parts again with a lint free alcohol wipe to remove any residue. The alcohol wipe will dirty after cleaning the parts. Clean the parts again with a lint free alcohol wipe until no residue is left on the alcohol wipe.

Note: The taper of the camshaft gear must be clean, dry, and free of residue before assembly.

Ensure that the camshaft timing pins and the timing pin for the flywheel are installed.

Place camshaft drive gear (9) and camshaft drive gear (6) in position. Remove the backlash by rotating the gears in the opposite direction of camshaft rotation.

Note: For "Standard Rotation" engines, turn the camshaft drive gears COUNTERCLOCKWISE. For "Reverse Rotation" engines, turn the camshaft drive gears CLOCKWISE.

NOTICE

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.



NOTICE

Remove all carbon deposits from the angled surface at the bottom of the cylinder head bore for the fuel injector. Failure to clean this area may prevent the fuel injector from seating properly. This could result in failure of the fuel injector due to leakage of exhaust gas into the fuel passage.


It is important to clean the cylinder head bore for the fuel injector before you install the fuel injector. Use the following procedure to clean the bore.

Note: A fine grade of Scotch Brite material is recommended for cleaning the cylinder head bore for the fuel injector. The product is available as Tooling (F).

Place a 38 mm (1.5 inch) square piece of Scotch Brite material on the end of Tooling (B).

Note: It should not be necessary to use a power tool to clean the cylinder head bore for the fuel injector.



Illustration 116g06042157

Hold the brush with Tooling (C). Insert the brush into bore (6). Rotate the Scotch Brite material against the lower surface of bore (7). Continue cleaning until the surface is smooth and shiny.

Note: Tooling (D) is recommended for cleaning loose particles from the bore. The vacuum is operated with pressurized air.

Remove all loose particles from the bore.

Remove any fuel / fluid that may have accumulated before installing the fuel injector.



Illustration 117g06190772


Illustration 118g06190826

Note: Press the fuel injector into the bore of the cylinder head. Do not strike the fuel injector. Center the solenoid between the valve springs.



Illustration 119g06190852

Press the fuel injector into the bore of the cylinder head. Do not strike the fuel injector. Center the solenoid between the valve springs.

The fuel injector clamp has orientation pads and alignment tab that fit onto machined injector slots. Fuel injector clamp must be used to draw the fuel injector into the cylinder head bore.

Ensure that the slot of the valve bridge goes in-board and the circular pocket goes outboard.



NOTICE

Ensure that the crankshaft and the camshafts are in time with each other. Also ensure that the adjustment screws in the rocker arms are loosened completely before the bolts on the rocker shaft are tightened or damage to the valves and the pistons may occur.

Make sure that the rocker arms and pushrods are aligned. Apply clean unused engine oil to the threads and the shoulder of bolts.

Tighten one bolt to 215 ± 40 N·m (159 ± 30lb ft). Tighten second bolt to 215 ± 40 N·m (159 ± 30lb ft). Retighten first bolt to 215 ± 40 N·m (159 ± 30lb ft). Retighten second bolt to 215 ± 40 N·m (159 ± 30lb ft).

Valve Lash Setting

V-12 (CCW) Rotation Engine 
A. Set Number 1 Cylinder TDC Compression Stroke 
1. Set Number 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8 Intake Valves 
2. Set Number 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 10 Exhaust Valves 
B. Turn Crankshaft 360° (Number 11 Cylinder TDC Compression Stroke) 
1. Set Number 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12 Intake Valves 
2. Set Number 3, 4, 6, 7, 11, 12 Exhaust Valves 

Instructions for valve lash adjustment:

  1. Use the two crank position method to set valve lash as shown in timing chart.

  2. Tap each rocker arm on adjusting screw to assure roller is seated on camshaft base circle before setting lash.

  3. Use a feeler gage or dial indicator to set cold valve lash at 0.50 for inlet valves and 1.00 for exhaust valves.

  4. Tighten valve rocker arm adjusting screw locknut to 70 ± 15 N·m (52 ± 11 lb ft) and recheck adjustment.

Illustration 132g06190985

Note: An extra 5/8 inch socket will be required. A Snap-on SIM-L200 is recommended.



Illustration 133g06190990


Illustration 134g06190996

Note: The spherical end of the washer must seat against accumulator clamp cone.

Note: Do not push the accumulator in by hand. Pushing by hand could lead to damage of the accumulator tip which can result in a fuel leak.

Use one of the nuts to draw the accumulator into the cylinder head until the accumulator bottoms out, contacting the injector. Do not completely tighten the nuts used to draw the accumulator. Loosen the nut used to draw in the accumulator by on full turn.

Torque fuel line nuts using a 1-1/16 or 27 mm crow foot wrench.



Illustration 142g06191011

tighten the accumulator nuts alternately, 90 degrees at a time, to a fin torque of 35 N·m (26 lb ft).

Note: Do not let the stud bolts contact the ID of the bolt holes in the accumulator clamp.



Illustration 143g06191012

Note: Lubricate the new O-ring on the end plug with clean, unused engine oil.

Torque the existing end plugs of the accumulators at cylinder 11 and 12.

If installing a new accumulator at cylinder 11 or 12, place a new ball and new end plug against the mating cone in the inlet port and hind tighten. Ensure that the ball seats properly on the mating cone.
