Introduction
This Special Instruction contains the necessary parts list and instructions for upgrading 3412 Marine Propulsion Engines rated at 825, 900, and 1000 HP. The Caterpillar Engine Service Representative should be consulted before ordering the parts for this conversion arrangement.
Miscellaneous items that are part of the engine installation into the vessel, but are not supplied by Caterpillar, may require modification or replacement because of the new components. This conversion arrangement provides the following components and associated hardware:
- 1. Water cooled turbochargers (turbine housings) and water cooled exhaust risers
- 2. Larger engine mounted heat exchanger with integral expansion tank
- 3. Deaerators
- 4. Air cleaners with positive crankcase pressure/oil separator system
- 5. Gilkes auxiliary water pump (optional).
- 2. Larger engine mounted heat exchanger with integral expansion tank
General Information
A separate parts list and drawing is included for each group. In order to minimize the sorting of parts and to ease the installation of these components, it is strongly suggested that SEPARATE parts orders be placed for the parts in EACH group in the conversion. The parts list is for ONE engine except for 106-5344 Conversion Group for the Lower Cover. This group specifies parts specifically for the port and starboard engine. It will be necessary to place TWO separate parts orders for all of the other groups.
Repositioning Engine Components
The location of engine components must be carefully reviewed before starting the installation of the conversion arrangement. Inspect the following components closely.
- 1. The position of the turbochargers will require the exhaust piping to be moved rearward 61.9 mm (2.44 in), in order to maintain proper alignment of all the exhaust connections. Determine exactly which connection(s) need(s) to be repositioned to allow the piping to move straight back. Also inspect the exhaust hangers/brackets to make sure that the piping is correctly supported.
- 2. The new watercooled exhaust risers require water elbows and a connector from the bottom rear of each of the exhaust manifolds to the bottom of the risers. If the marine gear mounting brackets are also connected to the sides of the flywheel housing, the mounting brackets may need to be reworked to clear the new elbows and connectors.
- 3. If the marine gear oil cooler is connected to the engine mounted heat exchanger, a brass 90° elbow with 1"-11 1/2 NPTF thread and a barbed end for 19 mm (.75 in) I.D. coolant hose must be added to the right bottom side of the heat exchangers. Verify the I.D. of the hose.
- 2. The new watercooled exhaust risers require water elbows and a connector from the bottom rear of each of the exhaust manifolds to the bottom of the risers. If the marine gear mounting brackets are also connected to the sides of the flywheel housing, the mounting brackets may need to be reworked to clear the new elbows and connectors.
