Replacement Parts

Consult the applicable Parts Identification manual for your engine.

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

When replacement parts are required for this product Caterpillar recommends using Caterpillar replacement parts or parts with equivalent specifications including, but not limited to, physical dimensions, type, strength and material.

Failure to heed this warning can lead to premature failures, product damage, personal injury or death.


Measurement Requirements


NOTICE

Precise measurements shall be made when the component and measurement equipment are at 20° (68° F). Measurements shall be made after both the component and measurement equipment have had sufficient time to soak at 20° (68° F). This will ensure that both the surface and core of the material is at the same temperature.


Initial Cleaning of the Engine



Illustration 3g06238164

Cap all machined surfaces and plug all the hoses and fuel lines.

Clean all the external surfaces before the engine is disassembled. Clean all the external surfaces before the engine is brought into the shop. Use a high-pressure washer to spray the engine with hot water and soap or 174-6858 Cleaner.

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

Personal injury can result from working with cleaning solvent.

Because of the volatile nature of many cleaning solvents, extreme caution must be exercised when using them. If unsure about a particular cleaning fluid, refer to the manufacturer's instructions and directions.

Always wear protective clothing and eye protection when working with cleaning solvents.



NOTICE

All reconditioned components should be cleaned again before assembly. Any debris or residue on the parts such as metal chips, carbon deposits, or sludge can enter the system. Debris or residue can cause early engine failures.


After the initial cleaning of the engine, disassemble the engine. Refer to the appropriate Disassembly and Assembly manual for your engine.

All fasteners should be compared against Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8301, "Inspection and Reuse of Critical Fasteners Used in All Engines". Pay special attention to head bolts, main bolts, connecting rod bolts, and rocker shaft bolts when considering reusability. Any visual damage to the bolts should disqualify the bolt from reuse.

Note: Itis recommended to replace all cylinder head bolts and the spacer plates (if applicable) on any engine that has experienced a failure of the top deck/cylinder head joint.

Cleaning the Cylinder Block

One of the major reasons for a bearing failure after an engine overhaul is damage caused by debris in the oil passages. Remove all dirt, debris, and metal shavings from all openings, ports, and passages. Refer to M0080689Reuse And Salvage Guidelines, "Cylinder Block Cleaning and Audit Procedure" for cylinder block cleaning.


NOTICE

Failure to remove all dirt, debris, and/or metal shavings from openings, ports, and passages, will result in damage to the engine and the related components. A cylinder block that is not cleaned thoroughly will result in piston seizure or rapid wear of the cylinder bores, pistons, and piston rings. Only the thorough use of a rotary brush will correctly remove abrasive particles.


Cylinder Liner Projection



Illustration 4g06307445

Use 8T-0455 Liner Projection Tool Group to check the projection of the cylinder liner after the cylinder block has been reconditioned. Refer to the Service Manual of the engine for the correct liner projection.

The cylinder block can be machined and shimmed if the liner projection is not with specifications. Shims should be avoided, when possible. The projection of the liner will decrease sooner when shims are used instead of inserts. Also, future repairs will be less difficult if inserts are used instead of shims.

Inserts for the liner can also be used to restore the cylinder liner to the correct height.

Surface Texture

Surfaces that have been machined must be smooth to form a good seal. The machined finish for the top deck of the cylinder block must be 3.2 µm (125 µinch) or less for the engines listed on this document.

Reconditioning Dimensions

3200 Engines (Direct Injection)

The specifications for the original dimensions and the minimum reconditioned dimensions are shown in Table 4.

Measure the projection of the piston when the reconditioned cylinder blocks are used. The pistons must extend above the top deck of the cylinder block 0.51 ± 0.51 mm (0.020 ± 0.020 in).

Note: The projection of the piston does not include the tolerance stackup from rod bearing clearances, the crankshaft, the bushing for the rod eye, and the piston.

When the engine is reconditioned, both the cylinder block and the head must be checked. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8162, "Reuse and Salvage for Cylinder Head Assemblies" for additional information on the cylinder head. This information covers thickness of the cylinder head and the projection of the intake and exhaust valves.

Marking the Reconditioned Block

Keep an exact record of the amount and location of the stock that is removed from the cylinder block. Mark the cylinder block near the changed surface. Do not mark the cylinder block in the area of the gasket seal. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8187, "Standardized Parts Marking Procedures" for additional information on marking parts.

These markings could also have code letters for the dealer and/or the machine shop. Write all this information in the service report for the engine history or machine history. The machining that is performed should also be reported in Service Information Management System (SIMS).

Specifications

Tables 4 contain the specifications for the measurements that need to be taken during reconditioning of the cylinder block.

Note: The dimensions assume that no material has been removed from the rail for the valve cover and the centerline of the crankshaft has not been raised. The specifications will need to be adjusted accordingly if machining has already occurred.

Note: Caterpillar has approved the use of 3208 cylinder blocks with a crack between the water port and the cylinder head bolt hole. However, crack (2) must not extend below the depth of the bolt hole chamfer (4). See Illustration 7.

Procedure for Cylinder Head Bolt Holes for 3208 Engines

Visual Inspection

Blocks should be visually inspected for cracks before the repair procedure is used.

Check the top deck of the block for cracks. Refer to "Crack Detection Methods" section for more information on crack detection. The cracks must be no deeper than 6.4 mm (0.25 inch) down the counterbore of the bolt hole. The cracks cannot run into the cylinders. The cracks must only run into water jackets. The number of cracks per hole does not matter. Mark all bad holes with a paint pen.

Full-Torque Threaded Inserts

This guideline will provide a repair procedure for cracked bolt holes and stripped bolt holes on a 3208 Engine. The procedure utilizes Lock-N-Stitch products that were introduced in Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8882, "Using Lock-N-Stitch Procedures for Casting Repair". Full Torque Thread Insert Kits are used to repair the cracked bolt holes and stripped bolt holes. Refer to the "Procedure for Cylinder Head Bolt Holes for 3208 Engines" section of this guideline for information. The threaded inserts and the parts that accompany the threaded inserts that are included in this guideline are included in FFB5SP010K Full Torque Thread Insert Kit from LOCK-N-STITCH. These parts can be ordered through LOCK-N-STITCH. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8882, "Using Lock-N-Stitch Procedures for Casting Repair" for other LOCK-N-STITCH parts that are stocked by Caterpillar. All other parts in this guideline can be ordered through the Caterpillar distribution network.

Installing a Threaded Insert can be done in a short amount of time. Installing a Threaded Insert will increase the strength of the threads. This guideline will cover the proper procedure for repairing damaged bolt holes with Threaded Inserts on 3208 Blocks.



Illustration 8g06307487
Full-Torque Threaded Inserts

This is a new concept in repairing threaded holes.

All bolts and studs produce a significant radial force that spreads when the bolts and studs are torqued. In metals with low strength such as cast iron, brass, and aluminum, this force that spreads often results in cracks. During repair work, most cracks are found in threaded holes. Cracked bolt holes can be repaired by using Full-Torque Threaded Inserts. Threads that are stripped can be repaired by using Full-Torque Threaded Inserts.

Full-Torque Threaded Inserts use unique external threads. These inserts will contain the force of the fastener. These inserts will only transfer radial force to the surrounding material. This force will draw the surrounding material together.

Full-Torque Threaded Inserts are available in the style of through hole and the style of blind hole. Threaded Inserts are available with shoulders and without shoulders. Solid plugs are available to repair badly damaged holes. After installing the plug, a new hole can be drilled and tapped in the proper location.

Crack Detection Methods


NOTICE

Regardless of which crack detection method is used, it is important that the instructions furnished with the detection equipment are followed closely when checking any component. Failure to do so may cause inaccurate results or may cause injury to the operator and/or surroundings.


Crack detection methods or Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) are utilized for examining components for cracks without damaging the component. Visual inspection (VT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), Magnetic Particle Inspection (MT), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Radiographic Testing (RT) and Eddy-Current Testing (ET) are recommended methods. There may be more than one acceptable crack detection method for the inspection of a given part, though the liquid penetrant is the most versatile. For example, the liquid penetrant method can be used when inspecting smooth machined components such as shafts, gear teeth, and splines, but using the Wet Magnetic Particle Inspection is more accurate. Refer to Table 5 for advantages and disadvantages and Table 6 for standards and requirements for these NDT methods.

Components and welds that are to be inspected using PT, MT, or UT shall first be subject to Visual Surface Inspection (VT). Visual Inspection is often the most cost-effective inspection method and requires little equipment as seen in Illustration 24. It is suggested that at a minimum personnel performing Visual Inspection are either trained to a company standard or have sufficient experience and knowledge with regard to the components being inspected. It is also suggested that personnel performing visual inspections take some type of eyesight test regularly.

Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)

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

Personal injury can result from improper handling of chemicals.

Make sure you use all the necessary protective equipment required to do the job.

Make sure that you read and understand all directions and hazards described on the labels and material safety data sheet of any chemical that is used.

Observe all safety precautions recommended by the chemical manufacturer for handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals.


Materials and Equipment Required

Refer to Tooling and Equipment Table 3 for part numbers.

  • Cleaner: Removes dirt before dye application and dissolves the penetrant making possible to wipe the surface clean.

  • Penetrant: This solution is highly visible, and will seep into openings at the surface of a part with capillary action.

  • Developer: Provides a blotting action, bringing the penetrant out of the discontinuities and providing a contrasting background to increase the visibility of the penetrant indications.

  • Wire Brush: Removes dirt and paint.

  • Cloth or Wipes: Use with cleaner and for other miscellaneous uses.

Procedure



    Illustration 25g06107074
    Typical example of pre-cleaning area.

  1. Preclean inspection area. Spray on cleaner / remover to loosen any scale, dirt, or any oil. Wipe the area to inspect with a solvent dampened cloth to remove remaining dirt and allow the area to dry. If there is visible crack remove paint using paint remover or wire brush.


    Illustration 26g06107081
    Typical example of applying penetrant.

  2. Apply penetrant by spraying to the entire area to be examined. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for penetrant to soak. After the penetrant has been allowed to soak, remove the excess penetrant with clean, dry wipe.


    Illustration 27g06107088
    Typical example of removing excess penetrant oil.

  3. The last traces of penetrant should be removed with the cleaner solvent dampened cloth or wipe. Allow the area to dry thoroughly.


    Illustration 28g06107094
    Typical example of applying developer.

  4. Before using Developer, ensure that it is mixed thoroughly by shaking can. Holding can approximately 203.20 - 304.80 mm (8.00 - 12.00 inch) away from part, apply an even, thin layer of developer over the area being inspected. A few thin layers are a better application method than one thick layer.


    Illustration 29g06084042
    Typical example of cracks found during a liquid penetrant testing.

  5. Allow the developer to dry completely for 10–15 minutes before inspecting for cracks. Defects will show as red lines in white developer background, refer to Illustration 29. Clean the area of application of the developer with solvent cleaner.

Dry Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

Materials and Equipment Required

Refer to Tooling and Equipment Table 3 for part numbers.



Illustration 30g06085930
(A) Indications shown by magnetic particle testing.
(B) Typical electromagnetic yoke.
(C) Dry powder bulb.

  1. Dry magnetic powder shall be of high permeability and low retentively and of suitable sizes and shapes to produce magnetic particle indications. The powder shall be of a color that will provide adequate contrast with the background of the surface being inspected.

  2. Dry magnetic particles shall be stored in suitable containers to resist contamination such as moisture, grease, oil, non-magnetic particles such as sand, and excessive heat. Contaminants will manifest in the form of particle color change and particle agglomeration. The degree of contamination will determine further use of the powder.

  3. Dry magnetic powder shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E709 Section 18 (Evaluation of System Performance/Sensitivity) when not performing.

  4. Equipment should include a "U" shaped electromagnetic yoke made from highly permeable magnetic material, which has a coil wound around the yoke. This coil carries a magnetizing current to impose a localized longitudinal magnetic field into the part. The magnetizing force of the yoke is related to the electromagnetic strength and can be tested by determining the lifting power of a steel plate. The yoke shall have a lifting force of at least 4.5 kg (10 lbs).

  5. Check dry powder blower routinely to ensure that the spray is a light, uniform, dust-like coating of the dry magnetic particles. Blower should also have sufficient force to remove excess particles without disturbing those particles that are evidence of indications.

  6. All equipment shall be inspected at a minimum of once a year or when accuracy is questionable.

Procedure

  1. Ensure surface to be inspected is dry and free from oil, grease, sand, loose rust, mil scale, paint, and other contaminants.

  2. Apply the magnetic field using the yoke against the faces and inside diameter of each bore.

  3. Simultaneously apply the dry powder using the dry powder blower.

  4. Remove excess powder by lightly blowing away the dry particles.

  5. Continue around the entire circumference of each bore. Position the yoke twice in each area at 1.57 rad (90°) to ensure that multiple directions of the magnetic field are created.

  6. Observe particles and note if any clusters of particles appear revealing an indication.

  7. Record the size and shape of any discontinuities or indications found.

Pear Shaped Centrifuge Tube

  1. Wet magnetic particles are fluorescent and are suspended in a vehicle in a given concentration that will allow application to the test surface by spraying.

  2. Concentration:

    1. The concentration of the suspended magnetic particles shall be as specified by the manufacturer and be checked by settling volume measurements.

    2. Concentrations are determined by measuring the settling volume by using an ASTM pear shaped centrifuge tube with a 1 mL (0.034 oz) stem with 0.05 mL (0.0017 oz) 1.0 mL (0.034 oz) divisions, refer to Illustration 32. Before sampling, the suspension shall be thoroughly mixed to assure suspension of all particles, which could have settled. A 100 mL (3.40 oz) sample of the suspension shall be taken and allowed to settle for 30 minutes. The settling volume should be between 0.1 mL (0.0034 oz) and 0.25 mL (0.0085 oz) in a 100 mL (3.40 oz) sample.

    3. Wet magnetic particles may be suspended in a low viscosity oil or conditioned water.

    4. The oil shall have the following characteristics:

      • Low viscosity not to exceed 50 mSt (5.0 cSt) at any temperature at which the vehicle is to be used.

      • Low inherent fluorescence and be non-reactive.

    5. The conditioning agents used in the conditioned water shall have the following characteristics:

      • Impart good wetting characteristics and good dispersion.

      • Minimize foaming and be non-corrosive.

      • Low viscosity shall not exceed a maximum viscosity of 50 mSt (5.0 cSt) at 38° C (100° F).

      • Non-fluorescent, non-reactive, and odorless.

      • Alkalinity shall not exceed a pH of 10.5.

  3. Equipment should include a "U" shaped electromagnetic yoke made from highly permeable magnetic material, which has a coil wound around the yoke. This coil carries a magnetizing current to impose a localized longitudinal magnetic field into the part. The magnetizing force of the yoke is related to the electromagnetic strength and can be tested by determining the lifting power of a steel plate. The yoke shall have a lifting force of at least 4.5 kg (10 lbs).

Procedure

  1. Ensure surface to be inspected is dry and free from oil, grease, sand, loose rust, mil scale, paint, and any other contaminants.

  2. Apply the magnetic field using the yoke against the surface in the area to be inspected.

  3. For case hardened and ground surfaces:

    • Due to the sensitivity required to locate the grinding cracks, inspection of case hardened and ground surfaces require that the yoke is applied so that the magnetic field is 1.57 rad (90°) to the expected direction of the indications. Also, due to the increased sensitivity resulting when the yoke is energized, the yoke is not moved until the evaluation is completed in the first direction.

  4. Visually inspect for indications of discontinuities using the proper illumination.

  5. Record the size and shape of any discontinuities found.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Note: Crack depth cannot be accurately determined by UT, only full depth cracking can be consistently determined. For cracks that are not full depth, an indication of a partial depth cracks can be detected by an experienced technician.


NOTICE

All personnel involved in ultrasonic testing shall be qualified to Level 2 in accordance to standards stated in Table 6.


Refer to Tooling and Equipment Table 3 for part numbers.

  1. Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a method of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) using short ultrasonic pulse waves (with frequencies from 0.1-15 MHz up to 50 MHz) to detect the thickness of the object. Ultrasonic testing consists of an ultrasound transducer connected to a diagnostic machine and passed over the object being inspected.

  2. There are two methods of receiving the ultrasound waveform from the transducer: reflection and attenuation.

    1. Reflection - Ultrasonic pulses exit the transducer and travel throughout the thickness of the material. When the sound waves propagate into an object being tested, the waves return to the transducer when a discontinuity is discovered along the sonic path. These waves continue and reflect form the backsurface of the material to project the thickness of the material.

    2. Attenuation - A transmitter sends ultrasound through one surface, and a separate receiver detects the amount that has reached it on another surface after traveling through the medium. Any discontinuities or other conditions within the medium will reduce the amount of sound transmitted, revealing the presence of the imperfections.

Eddy-Current Testing (ET)


NOTICE

All personnel involved in Eddy-Current Testing shall be qualified to Level 2 in accordance to standards stated in Table 6.




Illustration 33g06090873
Eddy-Current Testing

Eddy-Current Testing (ET) is a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method in which eddy-current flow is induced in the test object. Changes in the flow caused by variations in the specimen are reflected in to a nearby coil or coils for subsequent analysis by suitable instrumentation and techniques. Major applications of eddy-current testing are surface inspection and tubing inspections.

Radiographic Testing (RT)

Note: CAUTION: This process is dangerous. Only qualified personnel and test equipment should be appointed to perform this type of testing.


NOTICE

All personnel involved in radiographic testing shall be qualified to Level 2 in accordance to standards stated in Table 6.




Illustration 34g06090892
Radiographic Testing

Radiographic Testing (RT) is a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method in which short wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is used to penetrate materials to find hidden discontinuities such as cracks. In radiographic testing, the test object is placed between the radiation source and the film, or x-ray detector. The electromagnetic radiation will penetrate the thickness of the test object and, when all the way through, will project onto the film any indications that have been in the path of the radiation waves.

Thermal Spray Procedures for Top Surface Deck

Spraying Under Top Supported Liner

Listed below are the arc and flame spray procedures for providing a sufficient thermal spray coating on top decks. Based on complexity and process variables, arc spray is the preferred technology for this process.

Arc spray is the only validated and approved process for spraying under top supported liner flanges. Flame spray should only be used for deck height recovery with the use of inserts under the liner flanges.

Storage Procedures

Proper protection of the cylinder block from corrosion is important. Corrosion will start in as little as one hour after the cylinder block has been cleaned.

When the cylinder block will not be inspected for one hour or less the cylinder block should be coated with a rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil. The cylinder block should be individually wrapped to prevent contamination, and should be stored in a protected area to avoid damage. See Illustration 36.

When the cylinder block will not be inspected in two days or more the cylinder block should be coated with a rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil and should be placed in a container which is clean and structurally solid. The container should be covered or wrapped in plastic to prevent damage and contamination to the cylinder block. See Illustration 37.

Refer to SEHS9031Special Instruction, "Storage Procedure for Caterpillar Products" for more information.
