New Exhaust Manifold Groups Help Prevent Failure of Rear Bellows

Usage:


3608 (6MC),
3612 (9RC) Engines

Description of Change: New exhaust manifold groups are used to help prevent failure of the rear bellows. The rear bellows in the former manifold groups could fail because of misalignment and/or thermal loads.

Adaptable To: The new 4P0431 Exhaust Manifold Group is a direct replacement for the former 9Y3208 Exhaust Manifold Group on 3608 Engines. The new 4P0434 Exhaust Manifold Group is a direct replacement for the former 7E7236 Exhaust Manifold Group on 3612 Engines. The new exhaust manifold groups are in effect with 3608 Engine 6MC325 and 3612 Engine 9RC86.

Chart A and Illustration 1 identify the components required to install the rear bellows from the new manifold group on the former manifold group on 3608 Engines. Chart B and Illustration 2 identify the components required to install the rear bellows from the new manifold group on the former manifold group on 3612 Engines.
