Procedure to Clean Valves
To save time, check the condition of the valves before the valves are cleaned, ground, or measured.
Illustration 5 | g01334822 |
The valve on the left has not been cleaned. The valve on the right has been cleaned with the sodium bicarbonate method. |
Solvents
If there is only a small amount of carbon residue on the valves, use a good cleaning solvent to clean the valves. Use one or more of the following methods to clean hard carbon deposits.
Sodium Bicarbonate
Use the sodium bicarbonate method to remove oil, grease, and carbon deposits from the area of the fillet, the valve face, and the valve head. For the sodium bicarbonate cleaning method, use a blasting crystal size of
There are many benefits to using sodium bicarbonate as the media for blasting. Unlike other types of blasting media, grease and oil do not need to be cleaned from the valves before blasting. Sodium bicarbonate is soluble in water which provides options for waste disposal. Used sodium bicarbonate can be used as a neutralizer for treatment of waste. Sodium bicarbonate is an environmentally friendly chemical for workers, parts, and the environment.
Glass Beads
Use glass beads to remove heavy carbon deposits from the area of the fillet, the valve face, and the valve head. Use glass beads that are
NOTICE |
---|
Never use glass beads that are larger than |
Note: Do not use glass beads or steel shot in a cabinet that is configured for sodium bicarbonate cleaning. Glass beads and steel shot will not tolerate the grease or oils on the valves and the valves will require a cycle of wash prior to blasting.
NOTICE |
---|
Do not use the glass bead method to clean the valve stem. The results will be rapid wear of the valve guide. Protection of the stem area from glass beads is important. |
Steel Shot
Use steel shot to remove heavy carbon deposits from the area of the fillet, the valve face, and the valve head. Use size S170 steel shot for best results. Larger sizes of shot can damage the valve.
NOTICE |
---|
The steel shot will not give an acceptable finish on the valve stem. Use the FT-1753 Valve Stem Protector or similar type of hose on the valve stem to protect the valve stem. |
Illustration 6 | g01335052 |
|
One way to clean valve stems is to use tooling 6V-2033 Brush and 6V-2032 Adapter. Refer to Illustration 6. The flap brush has a diameter of
The best speed for the 6V-2033 Brush is 2100 rpm. Do not use a 3450 rpm motor. A motor that runs at 1725 rpm is acceptable only if the motor does not slow down during cleaning of the valves.
NOTICE |
---|
The 6V-2033 Brushcould come apart if it is run faster than 2100 rpm and could result in injury to the operator. |
If 6V-2033 Brush is not available, use a Scotch-Brite Type 5A brush. This brush is a fine grade that is used for finishing. Other grades or other brushes from another supplier may result in an incorrect surface texture.
Vibratory Cleaning
A vibratory cleaner can also be used to clean the valves if the cleaner gives the correct final surface texture to the valve stem.
Illustration 7 | g03151879 |
Typical vibratory cleaner |
The size and the type of pellet that is used in a vibratory cleaner controls the surface texture of the valves being cleaned. If necessary, polish the valve stem with Scotch-Brite material to get the correct surface texture. If you do not use Scotch-Brite material, check the surface texture on the valves frequently.
NOTICE |
---|
Do not use a wire brush or wire wheel to remove carbon deposits from valves. Wire brushes or wheels will make scratches on the valves, which can cause a valve failure. |
Note: Inspect the area of the retaining grooves of the valves for discoloration before using a vibratory cleaner. After cleaning, apply a light coat of oil on the valves to prevent rust.
Note: Do not clean the valves with a grinder that has a Scotch-Brite abrasive disc. Grinding with Scotch-Brite discs creates airborne particles that will contaminate areas of the shop.
NOTICE |
---|
Exhaust valves should never be reused. Always replace exhaust valves at overhaul. |
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 4 for advantages and disadvantages and Table 5 for standards and requirements for these NDT methods.
Crack Inspection Method Advantages vs. Disadvantages | ||
---|---|---|
Inspection Method | Advantages | Disadvantages |
Visual Surface Inspection (VT) | - Least expensive
- Detects most damaging defects - Immediate results - Minimum part preparation |

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) | - Most sensitive - Detects deep material defects - Immediate results - Wide range of materials and thickness can be inspected |
- Most expensive - Requires operator training and certification - Surface must be accessible to probe |
Eddy-Current Testing (ET) | - Surface and near surface flaws detectable -Moderate speed/Immediate results -Sensitive too small discontinuities |
- Difficult to interpret - Only for metals -Rough surfaces interfere with test - Surface must be accessible to probe |
Radiographic Testing (RT) | -Detects surface and internal flaws - Minimum part preparation - Can inspect hidden areas |
- Not for porous materials - Radiation protection needed - Defect able to be detected is limited to 2% of thickness |

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 8. It is suggested that at a minimum personnel performing Visual Inspection are either trained to a company standard or have sufficient experience and knowledge regarding the components being inspected. It is also suggested that personnel performing visual inspections take some type of eyesight test regularly.
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)
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. |
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.
- 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.

Refer to Tooling and Equipment Table 3 for part numbers.
Illustration 11 | g06085930 |
(A) Indications shown by magnetic particle testing.
(B) Typical electromagnetic yoke. (C) Dry powder bulb. |
- 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.
- 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.
- Dry magnetic powder shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E709 Section 18 (Evaluation of System Performance/Sensitivity) when not performing.
- 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) . - 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.
- All equipment shall be inspected at a minimum of once a year or when accuracy is questionable.
- Ensure surface to be inspected is dry and free from oil, grease, sand, loose rust, mil scale, paint, and other contaminants.
- Apply the magnetic field using the yoke against the faces and inside diameter of each bore.
- Simultaneously apply the dry powder using the dry powder blower.
- Remove excess powder by lightly blowing away the dry particles.
- 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.
- Observe particles and note if any clusters of particles appear revealing an indication.
- Record the size and shape of any discontinuities or indications found.
Wet Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

Pear Shaped Centrifuge Tube |
- 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.
- Concentration:
- The concentration of the suspended magnetic particles shall be as specified by the manufacturer and be checked by settling volume measurements.
- Concentrations are determined by measuring the settling volume by using an ASTM pear shaped centrifuge tube with a
1 mL (0.034 oz) stem with0.05 mL (0.0017 oz) 1.0 mL (0.034 oz) divisions, refer to Illustration 13. Before sampling, the suspension shall be thoroughly mixed to assure suspension of all particles, which could have settled. A100 mL (3.40 oz) sample of the suspension shall be taken and allowed to settle for 30 minutes. The settling volume should be between0.1 mL (0.0034 oz) and0.25 mL (0.0085 oz) in a100 mL (3.40 oz) sample. - Wet magnetic particles may be suspended in a low viscosity oil or conditioned water.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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) .
- Ensure surface to be inspected is dry and free from oil, grease, sand, loose rust, mil scale, paint, and any other contaminants.
- Apply the magnetic field using the yoke against the surface in the area to be inspected.
- 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. An AC yoke shall be used.
- Visually inspect for indications of discontinuities using the proper illumination.
- 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 5. |
Refer to Tooling and Equipment Table 3 for part numbers.
- 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.
- There are two methods of receiving the ultrasound waveform from the transducer: reflection and attenuation.
- 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.
- 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 5. |
Illustration 14 | g06090873 |
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 5. |
Illustration 15 | g06090892 |
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.

Measurements of the Valve Stem
Illustration 36 | g03152438 |
Always measure wear on valve stems. |
Use a 6V-0087 Valve Stem Gauge or a 6V-7059 Micrometer to measure the diameter of the valve stem. Measure the top and the bottom area that moves inside the valve guide.
If a 6V-7059 Micrometer is used to check the diameter of the valve stem, adjust the 6V-7059 Micrometer to the correct dimension for reusability and locked at the minimum diameter. The valve is worn and the valve must be replaced if the micrometer or the correct gauge slides easily over the stem at any position on the stem.
Note: Some valves have a tapered valve stem.
NOTICE |
---|
Do not use force or roll the valve stem into the gauge or micrometer. Forcing the valve stem can cause early wear on the gauge and incorrect valve stem measurements. |

Procedure to Grind Valves
Note: C175 valves are NOT to be ground. The valves are precision machined and the valves do not have enough material to grind successfully. Any attempt to do so will cause the valve to lose durability.
Note: After a valve has been ground, inspect the face and measure the thickness of the lip. Refer to the "Procedure to Measure Valve Lip Thickness" section of this guideline.
The intake and exhaust valves for 3600 engines are the largest valves from Caterpillar. Special heavy-duty equipment for grinding may be necessary. It may also be necessary to modify the existing equipment for grinding. The machine for grinding valves must be capable of grinding a valve with the typical dimensions given in Table 6.
General Valve Dimensions | |
Measurement | Dimension |
Length | |
Stem Diameter | |
Head Diameter | |
The machine for grinding valves must be capable of grinding the valve face, so the result of the face to runout of stem diameter is
Standard machines for grinding valves normally will not accept the larger stem diameter of these valves. A different head collet or head may be required to grind these valves. Also, the length of the valve stem will require some modification to the table to accept the longer length of the stem. The valve should always be installed in the collet with the chuck on the chrome finish.
Valve Face
- Adjust the carriage on the grinder to the correct valve face angle. The valve must have line contact near the outside diameter of the valve seat face when the valve is seated against the face of the insert seat.
Show/hide table
Illustration 57 g03154916 - Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation of the valve into the chuck.
Show/hide table
Illustration 58 g03154956 - Adjust the stop on the carriage for maximum movement to the left.
Show/hide table
Illustration 59 g03154997 - Always dress the grinding wheel so the grinding wheel does not have any nicks, grooves, or foreign material.
Show/hide table
Illustration 60 g03155021 Valve face that has been unevenly ground - Examine the rotating valve in the grinder to determine if the valve is warped or bent. Valves that are warped or bent can cause uneven grinding. Bad maintenance of the grinder will also cause uneven grinding. Valves that are warped must be replaced unless the thickness of the lip is correct after grinding.
Do not use the valve again.
- Adjust the flow of cooling liquid so the flow is directly on the point of contact between the grinding wheel and the valve face. Always wet-grind valves.
Show/hide table
Illustration 61 g01945500 - Check the runout of the valve face to the stem.
If the maintenance on the valve grinding machine is not correct, valve failure is possible. To check the valve grinder chuck, install a new valve in the chuck and use a dial indicator to check the runout on the face of the valve. The runout must not be more than
0.025 mm (0.0010 inch) . If the dial indicator reads too much runout, the chuck is damaged and needs to be repaired or the bearings are bad or loose. - Follow the manufacturer's instructions to properly grind the valve.
Show/hide table
Illustration 62 g01337941 - After the valve is ground, inspect the valve face. There must be no grooves, pits, marks, or burns on the face.
Illustration 56 | g03154737 |
NOTICE |
---|
Check the channels that the valve grinding machine slides in. If any movement can be felt, then the channels must be adjusted or a repair must be made. When the valve grinding equipment is in good condition, lapping of the valves is not necessary. |
Procedure to Measure Valve Lip Thickness
Note: Contact between the face of the valve and the seat of the valve is expected in the area at the outer edge of the valve seat. The minimum thickness of the lip must be maintained.
Illustration 63 | g01337997 |
This illustration shows the thickness of the lip on the valve. Use either of the following two methods to check thickness of the lip. |
Illustration 64 | g01338011 |
Use a |
Illustration 65 | g01338013 |
Use a |
Measure the thickness of the lip with either a 5P-6518 Dial Indicator Fixture or a 6V-7059 Micrometer with a 6V-2034 Micrometer Adapter. Refer to Special Instruction, SMHS6998, "Instructions for the Use of 5P-6518 Dial Indicator Fixture-Parts Reusability" for more information.
Note: Remove any burrs from the vee blocks on the fixture with a small 6V-2010 Polishing Stone. Burrs can damage the valve stem.
Note: Some difference in thickness of the lip is permissible. If the thickness of the lip is less than the minimum specification at any point, do not use that valve again.
The existing micrometer adapter 6V-2034 Micrometer Adapter enables measurement of valve lip thickness for 45 degree and 60 degree valves. Many 3400, 3500, 3600 and C175 engine valves are 70 degree.
Note: For C175 engines replace all intake and exhaust valves at PCR. DO NOT REUSE / RECONDITION / OR REMANUFACTURE INTAKE OR EXHAUST VALVES.
Note: For 3500 engines replace all exhaust valves at PCR. DO NOT REUSE / RECONDITION / OR REMANUFACTURE EXHAUST VALVES.
550-9152 Ring Gage Assembly is used to accurately measure valve lip thickness on 70 degree angle valves. The gage can be used with a 369-2607 Digital Indicator with the 5P-4160 Tip on a 5P-4456 Base and a 3P-1585 Collet. A 6V-7030 Depth Micrometer, 8H-3581 Feeler Gage Set, or precision gage blocks can also be used to determine reusability.
The gage eliminates possible measuring errors by locating the measuring surface on the factory established gage point. Comes with removeable centering bushings to measure valves with 9.4 mm or 11.0 mm stems.
Refer to M0088789Tool Operating Manual, "550-9152 Gage Ring Assembly" for more information.

Valve Rotocoils and Locks
Illustration 89 | g06229852 |
Do not reuse valve rotocoils or locks.
Caterpillar recommends against the reuse of rotocoils or locks. The disassembling, cleaning, inspecting, and reassembling of rotocoils requires specialized tooling and processes.
Floating Valve Bridges
Illustration 90 | g00008666 |
DO NOT REUSE a bridge with a new valve. The components create a wear system which they become a matched pair, and the reuse of a worn bridge (even slightly) with a new valve can lead to accelerated valve wear.
NOTICE |
---|
Do not attempt to reuse the 6I-1458 Valve Bridge. The 6I-1458 Valve Bridge can cause valve lash adjustment problems on cylinder heads that have been salvaged. Therefore, the 6I-1458 Valve Bridge has been canceled and replaced with the 348-7743 Valve Bridge. If there is trouble setting valve lash after the 348-7743 Valve Bridges are installed, then the 363-3731 Valve Bridges must be used. The 363-3731 Valve Bridges are thinner than the 348-7743 Valve Bridges. Refer to Truck Engine News, SEBD6847 for more information on the application of the 363-3731 Valve Bridges. |

Inspection of Slipper Followers, Roller Followers, and Roller Lifters
Slipper Followers, roller followers, and roller lifters are used in Caterpillar engines. This guideline contains information about the reusability of followers and lifters. Followers and lifters wear a specific fit with the camshaft lobes.
NOTICE |
---|
It is recommended that used followers and lifters be installed in their original bores during reassembly. If the followers and lifters are not, the difference in wear patterns can result in a faster rate of wear or a failure. |
Caterpillar recommends marking each follower and each lifter during disassembly. This will provide positive identification of the correct sequence during assembly. Never permit followers or lifters to become mixed. Do not install followers or lifters against a different lobe. Never install a used follower or a used lifter of any type with a new camshaft.
Slipper Followers, roller followers, and roller lifters that are used again in accordance with the information in this guideline will provide normal performance until the next overhaul of the engine.
Apply oil to all followers and lifters during assembly.
General Guidelines Slipper Followers, Roller Followers, and Roller Lifters
- When a new camshaft is installed, always replace the used followers and/or used lifters as well. Using a used roller lifter or slipper follower with a new camshaft can cause aggressive wear to both the camshaft and the lifter or follower.
- A new roller lifter can be installed on a used camshaft if the camshaft does not have wear on the lobe that can be easily seen or felt. The original roller lifter must have a smooth wear pattern. If either the roller lifter or the camshaft lobe has heavy wear, the camshaft should be replaced. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8146, "Camshaft Inspection Process" for further guidance.
- Check the roller for excessive movement. Do not reuse any rollers that are excessively loose. Do not reuse rollers that do not turn smoothly. Excessive wear on the pin or the roller in direction (C) is not acceptable. Refer to Table 12 for wear limits.
- Check for damage on the surface. There must be no pits, corrosion, or smeared material on the contact surfaces. Inspect each follower carefully with an 8S-2257 Eye Loupe. Surfaces that look and feel acceptable can have small pitting or defects which cannot be seen without an eye loupe. Circumferential wear patterns are acceptable if the surface has no defects. Circumferential wear patterns are unacceptable if the patterns can be felt with a fingernail.
Handling and Storage
Poor handling and storage procedures can cause a great deal of damage and may prevent the parts from being used again. Typical handling and storage damage includes: rust, dents, nicks, and scratches. To avoid damage, parts should be handled carefully and never dropped or thrown. Place parts in racks designed to prevent the parts from contacting each other. Putting the parts in racks should prevent damage to any parts during transportation and cleaning.
If the scratches are shallow, the roller can be lightly polished and used again. The polishing procedure should not use abrasive materials. The polishing procedure should not cause a change in the diameter of the roller. If the scratches are not shallow, the roller should not be used again. Shallow scratches cannot be felt with a fingernail.
Roller lifters can receive a great deal of damage from poor handling and storage practices. Such damage can prevent the parts from being used again. Typical handling and storage damage includes rust, dents, nicks, and scratches. To avoid damage, parts should be handled carefully, not dropped or thrown. Place the parts in racks designed to prevent the lifters from contacting each other. This practice should prevent damage during transportation and cleaning.
To avoid storage damage, parts must be coated with a rust preventative and stored in a clean, dry place where the parts will not be subjected to moisture. Engine oil is an adequate rust preventative if the parts will be used within a few days. If longer storage of parts is required, it may be necessary to wrap individual parts in sealed containers, such as plastic bags.
Cleaning Procedure
The roller lifters can be cleaned using any good quality cleaning solution with a petroleum base. Diesel fuel works well, because diesel fuel also provides some lubrication. Some cleaners will not protect the parts after cleaning because the cleaners dry oil free. Kerosene is not as good as diesel fuel, because kerosene provides less lubrication.
Make sure that the cleaning solution is clean since the clearances in roller lifters are very close. If the cleaning solution is not kept clean, foreign material or debris can get between the pin and roller, thus causing damage or premature failure.
Visual Inspection
The following general information should be used when working with roller followers and lifters:
- Used followers and lifters cannot be used on a new camshaft. A new camshaft requires the use of new followers and lifters. Used followers and lifters can only be used with the original camshaft. Always install used followers and roller lifters in the original bores with the original orientation.
- New followers and rollers can be installed on a used camshaft if the camshaft does not have wear on the lobe that can be easily seen or felt. The original lifter must have had a typical pattern or a normal pattern of smooth wear. If either the lifter or the camshaft has experienced heavy wear, Caterpillar recommends installing a replacement camshaft.
- If a camshaft was replaced, replace all followers and lifters.
- Do not use any followers and lifters that operated against damaged lobes.
- Check the followers and roller for excessive movement. Do not reuse any followers and rollers that are loose. Do not reuse any followers and rollers that do not turn smoothly. Measure and evaluate according to specifications in Table
Show/hide table
Illustration 127 g01742913 8S-2257 Eye Loupe used for visual inspection - Check for surface damage. There must be no pits, corrosion, or smeared material on contact surfaces. Inspect each lifter carefully with the 8S-2257 Eye Loupe. Surfaces that look and feel acceptable can have small pitting or defects that cannot be seen without magnification. As long as the surface is free of defects, circumferential wear patterns are acceptable unless the wear can be felt with a fingernail.
- Inspect the shaft bore in the assembly for unusual signs of wear. The bore should be smooth with no signs of galling or seizure to the shaft. If damage has occurred, the assembly must be replaced.

(B) The hole in the pin is more than 2 degrees from a vertical centerline. - There have been reports of damage to roller lifters after an engine has exceeded the maximum rpm limit. This condition is called overspeeding. Overspeeding has been shown to cause the roller pin to move sideways. Overspeeding can also cause the pin to rotate in the forks of the lifter. The pin uses an interference fit in the forks of the lifter and the pin is installed recessed
0.50 ± 0.25 mm (0.020 ± 0.010 in) from the side. During rebuilding process of the engine, inspect the pin to determine whether the pin has rotated from the initial position as shown in Illustration 130. The small hole in the end of the pin must still be aligned within 2 degrees of the vertical lifter. If the hole in the pin is more than 2 degrees from the vertical centerline, the lifter cannot be used again.Show/hide tableIllustration 131 g01743613 (14) Lifter

Scratches on the roller from improper handling Reuse the lifter. |
Note: Polishing can cause flat spots on the roller. Dents or nicks can also be found due to poor storage and poor handling. If there is raised material around the damage, the material must be removed by polishing. The roller lifter may be reused if the diameter of the body is within the diameter limits listed in Table 13. Reuse the lifter only if scratches or dents are shallow.

Wear on the Body
The following examples all show typical wear. The wear areas on the body of the roller lifter may take several forms from dull and scratched to bright and polished. The areas of wear should be polished to remove any raised material from the scratches.
The diameter of the body should be measured after the lifter has been polished.
Illustration 151 | g01750813 |
Typical wear to the body Reuse the lifter. |
The wear pattern stops in a straight line in these examples. These roller lifters can be used again unless a wear step can be felt with a fingernail. The areas of wear should be polished to remove any raised material from the scratches. After the polishing procedure, the diameter of the body should be measured. This measurement will make sure that the diameter is within the specified limits.

Visual Inspection
Illustration 154 shows the condition of the contact surface in a new slipper follower. Illustration 155, Illustration 156, Illustration 159, and Illustration 160 show some of the more common types of wear to slipper followers.
For good service life, each slipper follower must be installed in the original location so that the follower runs against the same camshaft lobe.
You can install a new slipper follower on a used camshaft if the camshaft does not have wear on the lobe that can be easily seen or felt and if the original slipper follower also had a wear pattern that was normal and smooth. If either the slipper follower or the camshaft lobe has heavy wear, the camshaft should be replaced.
With new camshafts, new or reconditioned followers must be used.
A slipper follower is wearing normally if the surface has a mirror finish. If the surface of the lifter that contacts the camshaft is dull, the lifter is experiencing rapid wear. The lifter should be replaced.

NOTICE |
---|
Followers that are too short can result in early wear of the camshaft and follower because the follower does not have the necessary hardness. |
Illustration 161 shows the location of measurement for slipper followers that have been ground. The specifications for minimum reuse apply to the follower after
To measure the minimum length for reuse, put the correct ball on the end of the slipper follower. Use a micrometer to measure the distance over the end of the follower and the outside diameter of the ball as shown in Illustration 161.
The surface finish of the follower must be
Note: Some followers may have a layer of protection over the surface which will make the surface finish rougher.
The slipper face must be crowned. The radius must be the same as the radius on a new lifter. Approximate radii are shown in Table 10.
Use a dressing stone to shape the follower to the correct radius. To check the radius, lightly grind the face of a new lifter and check for correct profile.
The crown on the slipper follower must be exactly symmetrical to the sides of the follower. There are two quality control checks for checking the grinding machine.

- Check the runout of the crown.
- Put the tip of the indicator at point (8) while the follower is on the grinder.
- Turn the follower from (8) to (10). The dial indicator must not move more than the specification for total indicated runout shown in Table 10.
- Check the correct amount of radius or “crown”.
- Put the follower on a surface plate.
- Install a 3P-1568 Dial Indicator on a magnetic base and measure the height between location (9) and locations (8) and (10).
- The difference must be acceptable according to the specifications in Table 10.

Prior to the installation of the lifter, use an oil can with clean oil to lubricate the roller pin. Use the lube port to pump the oil into the roller. If the lube passage in the lifter body is not plugged, clean oil will flow from the clearance between the pin and the roller and from the forks of the lifter body at location (1) in Illustration 166.
The roller lifters from 3500A engines may not be pressure lubricated. Lifters that are not pressure lubricated will not have the lube port on the side of the filter. In that case, the roller lifters should be submerged in an oil bath for at least 1 hour. The best method is to hang the roller lifters in a vertical manner. This is the orientation the lifters would have in an engine. This method ensures that oil fills the space between the roller pin and the roller. This method can be carried out by making a tank and a rack that holds the roller lifters for one complete engine.
Wear Limits
Maximum wear limits have been established to aid in determining the reusability of roller lifters. Use the following information along with Illustration 167 through 169 to determine reusability.
Illustration 167 | g06266675 |
Movement in the direction of callout (D) is normal. Movement in the direction of callout (C) should not exceed the amount of movement in direction (D). If movement in direction (C) is greater, heavy pin wear is likely. |

- Inspect abutment surface of housing for fretting or damage. Any housings with a wear step or damage to a depth of
0.26 mm (0.01024 inch) or beyond (relative to the original surface) should not be reused / reworked with a new lifter shaft. Inspect housings for cracks in the thin cross-sections beside the two hollow dowels which locate the shaft. - If the original machining marks are visible through the wear, refer to Illustration 173 (machine marks in wear). The lifter shaft cover can be reused as long as the same shaft is installed on the same lifter shaft cover in the same orientation.
Illustration 174 | g06219123 |
Cover orientation |
- Mark the lifter shaft cover similar to Illustration 174 (cover orientation) to establish orientation. Mark the lifter shaft in the same manner and number the shaft and cover.
- The lifter shaft cover and lifter shaft must be installed together, and in this orientation for the parts to be reused.
Illustration 175 | g06219125 |
- The cover can be reused if the hollow dowel is damaged as shown in Illustration 175.
The 357-9456 Bolts that attach the lifter shaft to the lifter shaft housing should only be used one time. If the bolts are removed for any reason, new bolts should be installed.

3600 Injector and Valve Lifter Group
During the operation of any engine, each roller follower wears to a specific fit with the cam lobe it runs against. At the point of contact, each follower and lobe will develop a similar wear pattern.
Note: Used followers need to be installed in the original bores during reassembly. If not, the differences in wear patterns can result in a faster rate of wear and/or failure.
Illustration 190 | g06267082 |
Part numbers facing out, as shown |
When installing the lifter, in the lifter guide, the part number must face "out" as shown.
Mark each follower during disassembly to provide positive identification and to make sure that the follower is installed in the original location. Never permit followers to become mixed or installed against a different lobe on the camshaft. Never install a used follower of any type with a new camshaft unless the follower is in "like new" condition.
Roller followers that are used again according to the information given in this guideline and other applicable guidelines can be expected to give normal performance until the next overhaul when used again in the same application.

Visual Inspection of Rocker Arms
During the operation of the engine, each rocker arm and rocker arm shaft develops a specific wear pattern. This wear pattern is unique to each particular bearing and rocker arm socket. Therefore, to assure maximum component life, each rocker arm, and rocker arm shaft must be reinstalled in its original position. If the rocker arm and rocker arm shaft are not installed in the same location, the difference in the wear patterns will result in a faster rate of wear, or possible failure.
These matching wear patterns are also formed on rocker arms and valve bridges, push rods and injector rocker arms, and adjusting screws and buttons. If one of the two parts in these pairs is replaced, so must the other. If one is used again, its corresponding part must also be used again.
Valve train components that meet these salvage guidelines and specifications can be expected to perform normally in the same application until the next engine overhaul. Never install a part that this Guideline indicates cannot be used again. Before installing a used or reconditioned part, correct any conditions that may have caused the original wear.
A new rocker can be installed on a used camshaft if the camshaft meets reusability criteria. A new camshaft requires the use of a new roller. Never install a used roller rocker onto a new camshaft or premature wear can result.
Excessive wear patterns can be detected with simple inspection methods. This type of wear is typically visible to the eye. Excessive wear patterns indicate that the part should not be reused. Check for wear at the contact surfaces between the rocker arm assembly and the bridge. Typically excessive wear is not present in this area.
Check all parts for surface damage. There must not be any pitting, corrosion, or smeared material on the contact surfaces. If all the parts show normal wear patterns and are free from defects, they can be used again.
Check the rocker arm shaft for excessive wear. An obvious indication of excessive wear is when the rocker arm feels loose on the rocker arm shaft. If the wear is excessive and can be felt with the fingernail, do not use the shaft again.
Rocker Arms for 3176, 3196, C-10, and C-12
Rocker Arms
Inspect the pad of the valve rocker arm for wear. The pad should be smooth and shiny. Roughness, pitting, or wear over more than half the surface makes the rocker arm unusable. An exhaust valve rocker arm is shown in illustrations 196 through 198, however the same use again criteria applies to the intake valve rocker arms.
Illustrations 196 through 198 show progressive stages of wear to the rocker arm pad.

Bearing Installation Procedure
Proper orientation of the bearing in the rocker arm is essential for adequate lubrication of the rocker arm. In addition to the oil hole alignment, the bearing joint must be at the top of the rocker arm within 5 degrees.
Illustration 231 | g06267537 |
Make sure the angle of the oil holes in the rocker arm are aligned with the bearing oil holes. |
- Lay the rocker arm on a flat surface as shown in Illustration 231. Each type of rocker arm has the oil holes drilled at different angles.
- Lay the bearing next to the rocker arm and make sure that the oil holes will align and the bearing joint will be at the top of the rocker arm.
Show/hide table
NOTICE It is critical that the bearing is installed correctly. If the bearing is misaligned or installed upside down, the oil groove will not lubricate the arm shaft assembly properly, resulting in faster wear of the bearing and the shaft.
- Use a 1P-0510 Driver, and press the bearing into the rocker arm.
- Machine the inside diameter of the bearing to the dimensions shown in Tables 2543, and 44. The inside diameter of the bearing must have 100 percent clean-up. The surface texture must be
0.80 µm (31.4960 µinch) or smoother. - Thoroughly clean the rocker arm and oil hole passages to remove any metal shavings.

Storage Procedures
Proper protection of the components from corrosion is important. Corrosion will start in as little as one hour after the components have been cleaned.
When the components will not be inspected for one hour or less the components should be coated with a rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil. The components should be individually wrapped to prevent contamination, and should be stored in a protected area to avoid damage. See Illustration 328.
When the components will not be inspected in two days or more the components 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 components. See Illustration 329.
Refer to SEHS9031Special Instruction, "Storage Procedure for Caterpillar Products" for more information.
